| Obverse description | The copper-nickel centre features the Jamaican coat of arms prominently in the lower field, comprising a shield quartered with five pineapples, supported by two Taino figures, and surmounted by a crocodile atop a royal helmet with mantling; a scroll bearing the national motto is rendered in relief below the shield. The large numeral '20' appears in the upper portion of the centre field above the arms. The nickel brass outer ring carries the legend 'JAMAICA' arcing across the upper periphery and 'TWENTY DOLLARS' along the lower periphery, both incuse-struck in bold capital letters. |
