| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Latvia centered in the field, depicting a quartered shield with a rising sun in the upper half and a lion passant and a griffin in the lower two quarters. Three five-pointed stars arranged in an arc surmount the shield, representing the three historical regions of Latvia. The circular legend LATVIJAS REPUBLIKA flanks the arms along the upper periphery, while the date of issue appears at the bottom of the field, flanked by two dot stops. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large numeral '20' prominently in the center of the field, executed in a bold, modern typeface. The denomination legend SANTIMU is inscribed in a gentle arc below the numeral. Two decorative square lozenges with concentric square motifs flank the denomination text at either side of the lower field. A series of concentric curved parallel lines arcs gracefully across the upper portion of the field, forming an abstract decorative element suggestive of a sun ray or rainbow motif. |
