| Obverse description | The obverse presents a vignette of insurgents manning a barricade as the PAST (Polish Telephone Joint Stock Company) buildings burn behind them, with a group of German prisoners of war visible in the composition. The Polish national flag is placed at the bottom centre, while the denomination numeral '20' appears in the upper left and lower right corners. A security thread embedded in the paper bears an intaglio-printed image of the Fighting Poland anchor symbol and the year '1944'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a dual-scene composition: soldiers set against the ruined interior of the Church of the Holy Cross on one side, and a field mass celebrated in the courtyard at 12 Poznańska Street on the other. A two-colour graphic element on the right margin renders stylised brick ruins as an artistic border motif. The lower margin bears a quotation inscription in Polish alongside the engraver's and printer's credits. |
