"Ce billet a été émis par la banque nationale belge en Juin 1964. Sur le recto le roi Baudouin I est représenté avec le blason de la famille royale 'de Belgique' et la devise nationale de la Belgique 'L'Union fait la Force'. Le verso montre l'Atomium de Bruxelles. Par face le billet a une dénomination de 20 francs belges traduite dans une des deux langues nationales (français ou néerlandais).

Emblématique du paysage bruxellois, l'Atomium culmine à 102 mètres. Il fut construit à l'occasion de l'Exposition universelle de 1958. Sa structure représente un cristal de fer agrandi 165 milliards de fois.
