| Obverse description | Green and black engraved note with the bank title 'BANCO CARACAS' and 'COMPANIA ANONIMA' in bold upper lettering, flanked by the denomination numeral '20' at upper corners. To the left, an oval portrait vignette of a young woman wearing a feathered headdress, rendered in fine intaglio line work. To the right, a reclining putto rests against the denomination panel. The central text panel bears the promise-to-pay legend in Spanish along with the place of issue 'Caracas' and spaces for date and serial number; the overprint 'SPECIMEN' appears in red across the lower center. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green, the reverse is built around a large central guilloche medallion enclosing an allegorical vignette of a seated female figure holding a staff and scales, set before an Andean landscape. The circular legend around the medallion reads 'BANCO CARACAS COMPANIA ANONIMA · CAPITAL B 6.000.000 ·'. Corner panels carry the denomination numeral '20' within intricate lathe-work borders, and fine geometric engine-turned patterns fill the remaining field. The printer's imprint of Homer Lee Bank Note Co., New York appears at the lower margin. |
