| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a detailed intaglio rendering of the façade of the Palacio de Torre Tagle in Lima, a masterwork of Spanish colonial Baroque architecture distinguished by its elaborately carved portal and characteristic Moorish-style wooden balconies. The denomination numeral '20' appears in large characters at both left and right, printed in black and red respectively, against a multicolour guilloche underprint of wavy pastel bands. A caption legend below the vignette identifies the building, with the denomination spelled out in red letterpress along the lower margin. |
