The Swiss banknotes of the 8th series were designed by the graphic artist Jörg Zintzmeyer. The obverse of each note featured the portrait of a well-known person, to whom the note was dedicated.

The 20 franc note shows the composer Arthur Honegger. The reverse presents a piano, a score, and three trumpet valves. They stand for the special importance of brass instruments in Honegger's music.
