| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in a delicate multicolour guilloche scheme of blue, rose, and olive tones. Three large oval medallions, each containing an intaglio portrait bust of a classical female figure in profile, are arranged across the centre, flanked by two smaller matching medallions at the outer corners. The numeral 20 appears at the centre between the principal medallions, and an intricate lace-like guilloche pattern radiates from the upper central ornament. A SPECIMEN overprint by the printer is applied diagonally across the lower centre. |
