Obverse description The central intaglio vignette presents a woman's head in right-facing profile, crowned by children placing a floral wreath upon her; a peasant figure bearing a sickle and wheat sheaf occupies the right side of the composition. Fine-line guilloche borders frame the design on all sides, with the issuing authority name, date, and engraver credits arranged within the surrounding lettering panels. All elements are rendered in the recess-printed intaglio technique characteristic of Austrian banknote production of the period.

Symmetrical guilloche panels flank the scene on both sides, enriched with foliate and harvest ornaments including grapevine motifs at right and wheat sheaves at left. The denomination numeral '20' appears in the upper corners, while the value inscription is contained within a cartouche along the lower border.
