| Beschrijving keerzijde | A platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) depicted swimming dynamically through stylised water, rendered with fluid, undulating lines that convey movement beneath the surface. Two platypuses are shown at different depths, emphasising the animal's semi-aquatic nature. The numeral 20 appears prominently in the upper right field, and the designer's initials SD are incused to the lower left of the central motif. The design, originally created by Stuart Devlin for the 1966 decimal coinage introduction, remains the enduring reverse type for the Australian 20-cent denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, sculpted by Jody Clark, was adopted by the Royal Australian Mint later than most Commonwealth mints — Australia held to the fifth Maklouf effigy well into the 2010s before finally transitioning. Clark's portrait, the first designed by a Royal Mint staff member in decades, was itself controversial for depicting a noticeably aged queen without the softening conventions of earlier commissions.
The platypus reverse on this denomination has been continuous since decimal introduction in 1966, making the 20-cent piece one of the longest-uninterrupted animal pairings in Australian coinage.
