| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a powerfully rendered tiger in traditional East Asian artistic style, shown in a dynamic standing pose with head raised and mouth open in a roar, turning to the right. The animal is rendered with fine detail in its fur and musculature, set against a stylized landscape with a rock formation and a partially visible moon or sun in the background. The Latin legend 'YEAR OF THE TIGER' arcs across the upper portion of the field, while the denomination '$ 20' appears at the bottom center.
