| Obverse description | The obverse is centred on a guilloche-bordered panel carrying the denomination inscription in large letterpress, to the right of which an intaglio portrait of a Catholic cleric in clerical collar is set within a hatched rectangular frame. The Slovak coat of arms in colour occupies the upper left corner, the numeral '20' appears in each lower corner, and a floral bouquet vignette is placed above the central text panel. A printed legend references the governmental decree of 23 May 1939 and the issue date of 15 September 1939 in Bratislava, accompanied by a facsimile ministerial signature and the anti-counterfeiting warning 'FALŠOVANIE SA TRESTÁ' at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, printed in dark brown intaglio, presents a central vignette of Devín Castle perched on a rocky promontory above the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers, with rays of light breaking through dramatic clouds above the ruins. The castle scene is enclosed within a rectangular frame surrounded by intricate foliate and guilloche border work, with the bold numeral '20' repeated in each corner. A small trilingual panel at lower left renders the denomination in Slovak, German, and Hungarian. |
