| Reverse description | The reverse presents a composite agricultural and industrial vignette illustrating Swaziland's economy: a logging truck traverses a winding road through pine forest plantations in the upper central field, while a herd of cattle grazes in the foreground amid tropical flora including sugar cane, maize, and cotton plants. Fruit trees and a pineapple motif fill the right margin, with the Swazi shield emblem at lower right and the denomination '20 / TWENTY EMALANGENI' lettered in the lower centre. |
