| Obverse description | At right, a finely rendered intaglio vignette presents the Choto Shona Mosque (Small Golden Mosque), a Mughal-era structure in Chapai Nawabganj district, with its characteristic domed profile and ornamental facade. The denomination numeral is set within guilloche-patterned panels alongside Bengali and English inscriptions, with the Bangladesh Bank seal integrated into the layout. The overall design employs a multi-colour underprint with geometric border elements framing the composition. |

| Reverse description | The central intaglio vignette portrays workers retting and washing jute stalks in a river — two figures stand waist-deep in the foreground managing bundled fibres, with additional labourers and a flat-bottomed boat receding into the background, evoking Bangladesh's pre-eminent agricultural export industry. The Bangladesh Bank seal appears in a circular cartouche at left, while numeral '20' counters are placed at each corner within a geometric guilloche border. The inscription 'TWENTY TAKA' runs above the issuer panel along the lower register. |
