Obverse description		Depicts a portrait of Manuel L. Quezon, date and value on the right on the background (microprint of "Republika ng Pilipinas"), country name above, his name on the right below the portrait, mintmark on the left below the value, and microdots. Manuel Luis Quezon y Molina (1878–1944), also referred to by his initials MLQ, was a Filipino statesman, soldier and politician who served as president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. He was the first Filipino to head a government of the entire Philippines (as opposed to the government of previous Philippine states), and is considered to have been the second president of the Philippines, after Emilio Aguinaldo (1899–1901). During his presidency, Quezon tackled the problem of landless peasants in the countryside. His other major decisions include the reorganization of the islands' military defense, approval of a recommendation for government reorganization, the promotion of settlement and development in Mindanao, dealing with the foreign stranglehold on Philippine trade and commerce, proposals for land reform, and opposing graft and corruption within the government. He established a government-in-exile in the U.S. with the outbreak of the war and the threat of Japanese invasion. It was during his exile in the U.S. that he died of tuberculosis at Saranac Lake, New York. He was buried in the Arlington National Cemetery until the end of World War II, when his remains were moved to Manila. His final resting place is the Quezon Memorial Circle.	The portrait of Manuel L. Quezon, the first president of the Commomwealth of the Philippines, is etched on the obverse of the coin, along with the markings, "MANUEL QUEZON" "20-PISO" and "REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS" in bold font and in microprints, and the mint mark.
Reverse Object		Tree, flower, plant etc. → Scyphiphora	Tree, flower, plant etc.
		Animal (fish, bird, mammal etc.) → Lion	none
		Construction (building, bridge etc.) → Palace	none
Reverse description		Depicts Scyphiphora (Nilad) on the left, logo of the Central Bank of the Philippines on the right, Malacañang Palace below on the background (microprint of "Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas") and microdots. One popular — but antiquated and less linguistically plausible — etymology for Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, asserts that the city's name derives from this shrub, locally known as nilad. Malacañang Palace is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the Philippines. It is located in old Manila district of San Miguel, and is commonly associated with Mendiola Street. The term "Malacañang" is often used as a metonym for the president and his advisers.

Edge description		Plain edge with the inscription of "BSP" (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) at six angles	none
Variations		New Generation Currency	none
Coin description		The New Generation Currency (NGC) Series is the name used to refer to Philippine peso banknotes issued since 2010 and coins issued since 2018 (2017 for the five peso coin). The series uses the Myriad and Twentieth Century typefaces. The 20 peso (₱20) coin was issued into circulation on December 17, 2019. Designer: Julius Caezar Moraga	In July 2019, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas announced that the 20 peso note will be changed into a coin due to the overuse of the banknote with each individual note only lasting a year in circulation. The decision is based on a research by the University of the Philippines. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas states that the new 20 peso coin would cost more to manufacture but would last for 10 to 15 years, longer than a 20 peso banknote. The coin is planned to be released in late 2019 or early 2020. In September 2019, the ₱20 coin finally designed and will be released in December 2019. Hints at the design were mentioned by Diokno - that Manuel L. Quezon would be the person featured on the obverse of the coin, as with the current note, that the coin would be two-tone and slightly bigger than the P10 coin, and that there would be other features making it distinct from the other New Generation coins. The coin is bimetallic as did as the previous 10 Piso coins circulated from 2000 to 2017.
