| Obverse description | The face is executed in fine intaglio engraving and presents a symmetrical composition with two allegorical figure groups flanking the central text panel: at left, Mercury and a female companion, at right, two further classical figures, all rendered in detailed letterpress vignette style. The denomination "Zwanzig Thaler Courant" is set in ornate Gothic blackletter script at centre, beneath a foliate cartouche bearing the title "Hannoversche Banknote." in a ribbon frame, with the numerals "20" placed in the upper corners, series designation "Serie VI." and "Lit. C." at top, and the issue date "Hannover, den 1. März 1857" below the main text, with signature lines for the Regierungs-Commissair and Verwaltungsrath at foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries the numeric denomination value "20" repeated in the upper left and right corners and again in the lower centre, flanking a central heraldic vignette referencing the Kingdom of Hannover. The composition is framed by decorative guilloche borders and typographic ornaments consistent with the mid-nineteenth-century German banknote style. |
