| Reverse description | The reverse displays a tabua — a polished whale's tooth suspended on a braided cord — a traditional Fijian ceremonial object of great cultural significance. The denomination numeral '20' appears in the upper left field, with the word 'cents' inscribed in the lower portion below the central device. The design is contained within a beaded border and rendered with exceptional relief and detail befitting the Proof striking. The overall composition evokes Fijian cultural heritage through the prominent use of this revered ceremonial artifact. |
