| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of Queen Elizabeth II faces left at right, set against fine guilloche underprint in red tones. The central vignette carries the triskelion emblem of the Isle of Man within a circular legend reading 'QUOCUNQUE JECERIS STABIT', flanked at left by a large £20 rosette medallion and an outline map of the island. The denomination numeral '£20' appears at lower right beneath the royal portrait, with the issuer's title and promise-to-pay legend across the upper register. |

| Reverse description | A detailed intaglio vignette portrays the opening ceremony of the Great Laxey Wheel in 1854, with a large crowd of Victorian-era figures gathered before the iconic water wheel set against a valley of rolling hills. The wheel's structural framework dominates the left portion of the composition, with arched stonework beneath and further figures and buildings receding into the hillside background at right. A triskelion watermark device appears in pale yellow-gold at lower right, and the entire design is framed by a continuous Celtic knotwork border. |
