On the reverse, the denomination of 20 Francs sits prominently above the year of minting. Flanking this central design is the famous French national motto, "Liberté, égalité, fraternité," which translates to liberty, equality, and fraternity. This inscription serves as a permanent reminder of the foundational values of the French Republic.
