| Reverse description | Central design featuring a tabua — a polished sperm whale tooth suspended from a braided cord of looped sennit fibre (magimagi, woven from coconut or Pandanus fibre) — a traditional Fijian ceremonial object of great cultural significance used as a ritual gift. The denomination '20' appears to the left of the tabua and 'CENTS' to the right, with the full legend 'TWENTY CENTS' completing the identification of the face value. The design is set within a plain field with no additional ornamentation. |
