| Beschrijving keerzijde | A platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is depicted swimming amid stylised water ripples rendered as bold, sweeping curved lines that fill the field, a design characteristic of Stuart Devlin's original 1966 work. The animal is shown in dynamic profile, facing left, with its distinctive duck-bill, webbed forepaw, and broad tail rendered in fine sculptural relief. The large numeral 20, denoting the face value, dominates the upper right of the design, integrating with the flowing water motif. The engraver's initials SD appear in small relief to the lower left, near the platypus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Australia's 20-cent piece has carried the same platypus reverse since 1966, making it one of the longest-unchanged circulating coin designs in the country's decimal history. The portrait change here is purely dynastic — Charles III's effigy replacing Elizabeth II's following her death in September 2022, with the Jody Clark obverse portrait adopted across Commonwealth issues. First-year circulation strikes bearing the new portrait tend to accumulate quickly in collections before they've had any real chance to circulate, a pattern that repeats with every royal transition in the series.
