The obverse (face) of the note has an engraved rendering of the Grand Duke on its left side superficial to a geometric seven-point star. Above/ Superior to this appears the symbol for "ice mark" (the snowflake) followed by the horizontal unrotated number "20" both superficial to an ovoid guilloche pattern which itself appears deep to the portrait of the Grand Duke. Inferior to/ Beneath the face of the Grand Duke appear his signature and the signature of the Commissioner of the Treasury, both unrotated and horizontal. The issuing bank, the Central Bank of Westarctica, appears in horizontal text rotated 90° counterclockwise just to the left of these. To the right of these along the top of the note are the horizontal words "This note is legal tender for all debts within Westarctica" vertically inferior to the words "Twenty Westarctican Ice Marks" in larger font. Inferior to both of these is a series of orange Eurion symbols. Near the bottom center of the note is the note's QR code box. Near the top right of the note is the note's serial number directly above/ superior to an engraved rendering of the Lesser Shield. A 5-point guilloche "star" is printed superficial to the Shield, and the number "20" is printed superficial of the star. On the far right of the note in the middle in black font and in horizontal unrotated text is the year of printing of the note. | The obverse (face) of the note has an engraved rendering of the Grand Duke on its left side superficial to a geometric seven-point star.

Multiple overlapping color gradients | ===Reverse=== | ||
The reverse (back) of the note is dominated by a star chart of the southern hemisphere showing most of its prominent stars and asterisms. In the top left is a stylized "20" in front of a guilloche pattern. Below/ inferior to this is the German denomination of the note, "Zwantig Eismark" above the name of the Central Bank in German: "Zentralbank von Westarctica". Further right is a silhouette of the continent of Antarctica with the Westarctican wedge highlighted. Just below the geometric center of the note appear the worlds "Fortune favors the Bold", the country's motto. To the right of this is a dark strip containing a series of very small yellow "20"s oriented horizontally and rotated 90° counterclockwise. To the right of this in the lower corner is another much-larger "20" superficial to another guilloche pattern. | |||
===Both sides=== | |||
Multiple overlapping color gradients are located across the obverse and reverse of the note, and interact with each other using various undisclosed layered transparency effects, making the recreation of the final set of gradients impossible without specific information with regard to the colors chosen for each gradient, the opacity of each color, the opacity of each layer, the transparency effect of each layer relative to all layers beneath it, and knowledge with regard to the order of all layers. | |||
Both the obverse and reverse have barely-visible repeating patterns across the entire surface, made of either stars (obverse) or snowflakes (reverse), located deep to all other layers. | Both the obverse and reverse have barely-visible repeating patterns across the entire surface, made of either stars (obverse) or snowflakes (reverse), located deep to all other layers. | ||
