Obverse description Olive-green tinted note with a central vignette of the Tondern municipal coat of arms — a red brick tower above a golden shield bearing two rampant blue lions — framed by oak branch sprays. The denomination '20' appears in large blackletter numerals at upper left and right, flanked by the bilingual legends 'Pfennig' (German) and 'Penning' (Danish) in ornate script. An oval cartouche at the top centre reads 'PLEBISCIT SLESVIG', referencing the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite, while validity clauses in both German and Danish appear in the lower lateral fields, with the issuing authority, date '10. Febr. 1920', and the manuscript signature of Paulsen at the base.

Reverse description Olive-toned note divided into two panels: the left panel carries the denomination '20 Pfennig' in blackletter at the top with a red printed serial number beneath, followed by a Danish verse inscription in script lettering and a decorative oak-and-grain spray along the left margin; the right panel contains a colour vignette of a traditional inn interior — a solitary seated figure at a table before a tiled stove, with bench seating and latticed windows in the background — captioned 'im weissen Schwan' below. The denomination 'Tyvе-Penning' is rendered in large cursive script across the lower portion of the note.
