| Reverse description | The reverse displays the standard Australian 20-cent design by Stuart Devlin, featuring a platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) swimming in dynamic motion, depicted in three-quarter view with characteristic ripples and water lines surrounding the animal. The large numeral '20' appears prominently in the upper right field, with the designer's initials 'SD' discreetly placed near the lower left of the central device. The frosted finish of the relief elements contrasts with the highly polished mirror field, lending the design a strong visual definition typical of collector-grade strikes. |
