| Reverse description | Central device features a tabua — a polished sperm whale tooth suspended from a looped sennit cord of magimagi (braided coconut or Pandanus fibre), depicted with fine surface detail to convey its ceremonial significance. The tabua, a traditional Fijian ritual object of great prestige, is positioned centrally, dividing the denomination numeral '20' to the left and the word 'cents' to the right. The legend 'Tabua' appears in the upper field. The composition is set against a plain field with clean, uncluttered design. |
