| Reverse description | The reverse, rendered in violet and sage green, presents a central pastoral vignette of two North African figures — a kneeling woman and a standing youth — flanking a diamond-shaped cartouche bearing the numeral 20, set against a background of prickly pear cacti and palm fronds. A large octagonal guilloche medallion occupies the right side as the watermark zone. An Arabic inscription in decorative script runs across the full width of the upper border panel. |
