Obverse description Intaglio portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in three-quarter view occupies the right portion of the note, set against fine guilloche underprint in pastel tones. To the left, the Gibraltar coat of arms — a red castle above a gold key on a white shield — is accompanied by a vignette of the Rock of Gibraltar with a cannon in the foreground and a Barbary macaque eagle in flight at centre. The date '4TH AUGUST 2004' appears at lower left, with denomination numerals '£20' rendered in multicolour at upper right and lower left, and a holographic security patch at right.

Reverse description The central vignette presents a detailed intaglio view of John Mackintosh Square, Gibraltar's main public plaza, rendered in blue-violet tones with fine line engraving capturing the surrounding colonial-era architecture, trees, and a central fountain. To the left, a Barbary macaque and a compass-rose guilloche medallion are set above the tercentenary dates '1704–2004' and the Gibraltar key emblem. Along the right margin, a vertical panel carries a multicolour montage of historical figures spanning three centuries of British Gibraltar, inscribed 'tercentenary' vertically alongside the dates '1704' and '2004'.
