| Reverse description | A detailed high-relief rendering of a Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) depicted in a three-quarter dorsal view, swimming diagonally across the field with its characteristic elongated front flippers fully extended; the distinctive longitudinal ridges and spotted pattern of its leathery carapace are rendered with fine naturalistic detail. Stylised water lines suggest an open ocean environment in the background. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 20 DOLLARS appears in two lines at the lower field. |
