| Obverse description | A gold-plated fantasy reproduction of the first-series 20 Euro banknote, rendered entirely in warm golden tones with contrasting dark intaglio-style vignettes. The central composition reproduces the Gothic architectural arch motif drawn from the Gothic period, with fine guilloche underprint patterns and the EU star circle to the left. The denomination numeral "20" appears in large format at upper right and lower left, with the EURO / EYRO bilingual inscription and the ECB acronym band across the upper register. |

This is not a banknote. Gold-plated polymer "euros" of this type are novelty items — collector souvenirs produced by private minting and gift companies, never issued or authorized by the European Central Bank. The ECB has no record of authorizing any gold-plated polymer denomination in this format. The issuer attribution on the item itself is either decorative or misleading.
Not a catalogable monetary instrument. No Pick number exists for this piece.
