| Reverse description | The reverse presents a naturalistic scene of a lioness and her cubs resting together, rendered in fine relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The grouping is set within a stylised landscape suggesting the African savannah, with the denomination 20C appearing prominently in the upper portion of the design in bold script lettering. The engraver's initials PB, referencing Paul Botes, are incorporated discreetly into the composition. The overall design emphasises familial strength and the continuity of the species, complementing the powerful obverse portrait. |
