| Obverse description | Printed in black on a pink-tinted underprint, the obverse centres on a rectangular intaglio vignette of a pastoral agricultural scene with a plough and farming implements set in a rural landscape; to the right, a classical allegorical female figure is seated beside a globe and an urn. The bank title "BANCO SAN FERNANDO" runs in large letterpress across the centre, with a red overprint reading "COLCHAGUA" and the promissory text incorporating the denomination "VEINTE PESOS". Numeral "20" counters occupy all four corners, with serial numbers printed in red at upper left and upper right. |
