| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and black on white paper, centred on a large intaglio vignette of a llanero on horseback herding cattle across an open Venezuelan plain, evoking the country's pastoral tradition. The bank title BANCO DE VENEZUELA arches across the upper portion in bold serif lettering, flanked by two oval guilloche medallions bearing the numeral 20 in each corner. Below the vignette, the denomination inscription VEINTE BOLÍVARES appears in a banner, with the payability clause and serial number Nº 345404 printed at upper left and upper right; two manuscript signatures appear at the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green, centred on a large oval guilloche frame enclosing the Venezuelan national coat of arms — showing a shield with wheat sheaf, crossed sabers and flags, and a white horse — surmounted by an ornamental wreath. The bank title BANCO DE is inscribed above and VENEZUELA below the central vignette in bold lettering, with the numeral 20 in large intaglio figures at both the left and right sides of the note. A fine lathework border and delicate engine-turned underprint fill the remaining field. The imprint of the American Bank Note Company, New York appears at the lower margin. |
