| Reverse description | A boldly rendered three-quarter view of an African elephant's head and raised trunk dominates the field, with prominent curved tusks extending toward the lower portion of the coin. The denomination numeral 20 appears at the upper left, with the trunk curling around the zero of the numeral in a striking design motif. The word CENTS is inscribed along the lower arc of the field, and the date appears vertically along the right side. The scalloped rim frames the entire design. |

Eswatini's 2018 coinage series marked the country's formal name change from Swaziland, enacted by Mswati III in April of that year to coincide with the 50th anniversary of independence. The renaming was unilateral — no referendum, no legislative process — and the new coins arrived as one of the most tangible everyday signals that the change was real.
