| Obverse description | The central vignette presents two classical allegorical female figures flanking the Bank of Scotland coat of arms, set against a fine guilloche underprint in blue and gold. Red diamond-shaped panels bearing the word 'TWENTY' occupy the upper corners, with a vertical left-margin panel enclosing armorial medallions; the denomination '£20' appears in bold letterpress at lower left and right. The Bank seal is rendered in blue intaglio at centre, above the promise-to-pay text and two manuscript signature lines. |
