| Obverse description | The obverse presents a Gothic architectural vignette at right, rendered in fine intaglio line work, evoking the tracery and lancet windows characteristic of medieval European ecclesiastical structures. The large numeral '20' appears in blue at upper left and lower left, flanked by a guilloche underprint in blue and grey tones, with the word 'EURO' inscribed in Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts at centre. The EU flag with its circle of twelve gold stars occupies the upper left corner, and the signature of ECB President Christine Lagarde appears in facsimile at left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a continuation of the Gothic architectural motif at upper left, with arched windows rendered in blue and ochre tones against a light guilloche ground. A map of Europe in blue-grey occupies the lower centre, set within a broad underprint field divided into yellow-green and pale blue quadrants. The large numeral '20' in teal appears at lower right alongside the 'EURO / EYPΩ / EBPO' inscription, while a vertical serial number is printed at lower centre and a horizontal serial number at upper right. |
