| Reverse description | The left-hand field bears a heraldic device consisting of three passant lions arranged in two rows, closely resembling the coat of arms associated with the Bailiwick of Guernsey, struck in low relief. To the right of the arms, the numeral 20 is prominently displayed in a large, stylised font occupying the centre-right field. Below, the currency denominations XEROS© and CEROS are inscribed in two lines across the lower portion of the field, identifying the unit and subdivision of the fantasy currency. |

| Additional information |
Jethou is a privately tenanted island of roughly 18 hectares, leased from the British Crown, with no governmental minting authority whatsoever. Pattern pieces issued under its name occupy a gray zone that serious collectors treat with caution — they are fantasy strikes produced outside any sovereign or recognized local monetary framework, with no circulation purpose and no issuing body empowered to authorize currency.
The "Xeros Ceros" denomination is invented nomenclature with no historical monetary precedent.
