| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid colored depiction of two humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) swimming in an underwater scene set against a circular deep-blue background.

Red coral and green seaweed are depicted in the lower field, enhancing the naturalistic marine composition. The curved legend MARINE LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination $20 is inscribed at the bottom of the field. The entire design is enclosed by a beaded border. |
