| Obverse description | The left portion of the obverse carries the large intaglio-printed denomination numeral '20' at lower left, with the title 'Reichsbanknote' and the Gothic-script word 'Zwanzig Reichsmark' dominating the central text panel, set against a fine guilloche underprint with an ornamental floral vignette at upper left. The issuance text, date, and the title of the President of the Deutsche Reichsbank appear in the centre, accompanied by a facsimile signature and the Nazi eagle-and-swastika emblem below. To the right, a finely engraved portrait vignette shows a young woman in traditional German dress, holding a flowering branch, with an Alpine mountain landscape in the background. |
