Obverse description	Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in three-quarter view occupies the right portion of the note, set within an ornate guilloche border, with the denomination £20 to her right. A central oval vignette at left-centre presents an engraved view of Jamestown harbour against a mountainous backdrop. Four manuscript signatures of the Currency Commissioners appear in the lower centre, above the serial number repeated at top right and lower centre.

Reverse description	The central vignette carries the heraldic arms of the East India Company, with two rampant lions as supporters flanking a quartered shield, each lion holding a flagpole bearing a Union flag, surmounted by a lion passant guardant crest; the whole is set against an elaborate brown guilloche underprint of swirling foliate patterns that fills the entire field. The denomination £20 appears in the upper right and lower left corners.
