| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain typeset note on white paper with a guilloche border running along the left margin. The heading 'GOUVERNEMENTS NOOT.' appears in large letterpress text across the upper portion, with 'TWINTIG POND.' on a dark banner below it; the denomination '£20' is printed in the upper right corner and the serial number appears at upper left. A small arms vignette is positioned to the left of the main text block, which carries the promissory text in Dutch on behalf of the Regeering der Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek. Two manuscript signatures appear at the foot, attributed to the Audt.-Generaal and Thes.-Generaal, with the place and date 'PRETORIA, 28.V.1900' between them. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is typeset entirely in Dutch, presenting two articles of Wet No. 1, 1900 in two parallel columns of dense letterpress text. A large rectangular blank panel is reserved in the lower portion, presumably for endorsements or treasury use. The overall layout is austere and functional, without pictorial vignettes or ornamental guilloche work. |

| Opmerkingen |
By 1900, the Staatsdrukkerij in Pretoria was operating under siege conditions — British forces had taken Johannesburg in May and entered Pretoria in June, effectively ending the ZAR government's control of its own capital. Notes printed in this period were issued under the authority of the Regeering rather than the Nationale Bank, reflecting the collapse of normal financial infrastructure and the government's attempt to sustain military expenditure in the field during the guerrilla phase of the war.
Most of these notes never completed a conventional circulation cycle. The British administration that followed refused to honor ZAR government paper, leaving holders with worthless currency almost immediately after issue.
