| Obverse description | Central vignette occupies the right half of the note with an intaglio rendering of the Great Mosque of Gataga in Kaédi, its twin minarets and façade rendered in blue-grey tones against a warm red and yellow guilloche underprint. To the upper right, a transparent polymer window bears the national emblem — a star and crescent moon — in gold and green. At left, a large circular security window integrates a Quran book motif in black and white, set within a multicolour concentric oval pattern. The Arabic bank title and denomination inscription appear across the upper and lower fields respectively. |

| Reverse description | The dominant central vignette presents an aerial-perspective guilloche interpretation of the Guelb er Richat (Eye of Africa), the ancient eroded geological dome rendered in concentric circular lines in dark blue and white tones against a deep red underprint. The numeral '20' appears in large format to the centre-right, with the denomination in French at lower right. To the upper left, the national emblem — star and crescent — is rendered in gold and orange within an ornate floral guilloche panel. At right, the transparent window carries the same Quran book motif as the obverse, completing the see-through registration feature. |
