| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in olive-green and dark brown, with a vertical left panel bearing the inscription '20 Reichsmark' in Gothic script against a fine guilloche underprint. At centre, large Fraktur lettering reads 'Zwanzig Reichsmark' above the issuing authority text and a red serial number, flanked on the left by the Reichskreditkassen eagle-and-swastika emblem. To the right, an intaglio vignette reproduces Albrecht Dürer's portrait known as 'Der Baumeister' (The Builder), set within a ruled rectangular frame with a '20 RM' panel below. |
