| Obverse description | Central field features a tall lighthouse rendered in low relief, depicted with a lantern room at its summit and a low ancillary structure at its base, evoking a coastal maritime setting. The trilingual pattern legend 'ESSAI - PATTERN - PROBE' is inscribed along the upper periphery in Latin script, denoting the piece's status as a trial striking in French, English, and German respectively. The date '2008' appears in the lower exergual area beneath the lighthouse motif. The overall design is executed in a plain, utilitarian style consistent with a milled brass pattern piece. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field is divided by a background of vertical striated lines, against which a stylized male figure is depicted in low relief on the left side, rendered in a dynamic posture and appearing to hold a shield, suggestive of a classical or allegorical warrior motif. To the right of the figure, the denomination numeral '20' is struck in large, bold characters occupying the upper right field. Along the lower margin, the currency unit designations 'XEROS©' and 'CEROS' are inscribed in two lines in Latin script. The composition is clean and graphic in character, consistent with a modern pattern or essai piece. |
