| Obverse description | Portrait of President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in three-quarter right-facing bust at left, with the national arms of Kenya as a central vignette. The denomination is expressed solely in Swahili (SHILINGI ISHIRINI), without an English-language value inscription at centre. Guilloche underprint patterns frame the composition, with issuer legends and legal tender text in both English and Swahili. |

| Reverse description | A finely engraved intaglio vignette occupies the centre of the reverse, showing a lion pride at rest — a maned adult male and a lioness flanking three playful cubs in the foreground — set against a savanna landscape with Mount Kenya rendered in olive-yellow underprint in the background. Denomination numerals '20' appear at lower left and lower right corners, with guilloche border panels along the lateral edges and a decorative underprint band along the lower margin. |
