The upper arc carries the bank title 'EL BANCO NACIONAL DEL PERÚ', while the promise text 'Pagará a la vista al portador VEINTE CENTAVOS EN MONEDA CORRIENTE' and the date 'Lima Enero 1º de 1873' appear below the vignette, with two manuscript signatures bearing 'GERENTE' designations at the foot. The printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. N.Y.' is present along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in blue-green and comprises three large circular guilloche rosettes arranged horizontally within a fine geometric border: the left and right medallions each carry the numeral '20' above 'CENTAVOS', while the central medallion consists of a dense lathe-work floral rosette without a numeral. The bank name is split across the design, with 'EL BANCO' arching along the upper margin and 'NACIONAL DEL PERÚ' along the lower. |
