| Reverse description | The reverse evokes the cover design of Graeme Base's celebrated 1986 illustrated children's book Animalia, rendered in gold-plated relief. A prominent lion reclines in the lower foreground amid a richly detailed scene populated by numerous animals including a tiger, elephants, and various other fauna, all depicted in intricate engraved detail. A pad-printed colour panel occupies the left portion of the field, reproducing a collage of iconic illustrated scenes from the book. The legend '35th anniversary of ANIMALIA' arcs across the upper field in stylised lettering, with the denomination numeral '20' appearing in the lower centre of the gold-plated relief area. |
