| Obverse description | Orange and black letterpress note with a central vignette of a panoramic view of Fribourg town below the large intaglio denomination "VINGT FRANCS". Two allegorical female figures flank the central field — a seated figure at left and a standing figure with agricultural attributes at right — each set within ornate frames with guilloche borders. The upper portion carries the issuer title "CAISSE D'AMORTISSEMENT de la dette publique À FRIBOURG" and the payment clause "Il sera payé à vue au porteur", with three manuscript signature lines for the Directeur, Président, and Caissier, and a state guarantee notice with reference to the decree of 15 May 1874 at the lower right. |

| Reverse description | Uniform orange underprint covering the entire reverse, centred on a large elaborate guilloche rosette medallion surrounded by a ring of smaller interlocking lace-pattern ornaments, with two flanking circular guilloche medallions each bearing the numeral "20". A small shield or arms device appears at the centre of the main rosette. The overall design relies entirely on lathe-work guilloche patterns with no pictorial vignette. |
