| Reverse description | Steel-blue intaglio vignette spanning the full width of the note, depicting a panoramic view of a Luxembourgish riverside town — likely Remich or a Moselle valley village — with vineyards in the foreground, a church steeple and townhouses at centre, and rolling hills with a winding river receding into the background. The heading 'GRAND-DUCHÉ DE LUXEMBOURG' is printed at the top, with the numeral '20' repeated at upper left, upper right, and lower left corners within a fine border frame. |
