| Reverse description | The numeral '20' in large, horizontally lined relief occupies the centre of the field, enclosed within a beaded circle. The legend STRAITS SETTLEMENTS arcs across the upper periphery, while TWENTY CENTS curves along the lower periphery, with the date positioned to the lower right between the beaded circle and the outer toothed milling border. Raised dots flank the issuer's name at left and right. The overall design is clean and typographic, with the denomination rendered prominently for ease of identification in commerce. |
