| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a mature bull Eurasian elk (Alces alces) standing in three-quarter profile facing left, its broad palmate antlers prominent above its massive shoulders. The animal stands on a rocky ground line that occupies the lower field. The Linnaean binomial Alces alces is inscribed vertically along the left field. The curved legend NATURSKYDD ÄR FRAMTIDEN (Nature Conservation is the Future) arcs across the upper field, while the denomination 20 EURO appears in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
Sweden's 20 kronor nature conservation issues of the 1990s were produced under the Riksbank's commemorative program at a moment when Swedish environmental policy was sharply in focus — the country had established some of Europe's most aggressive habitat protection legislation in the preceding decade. Mintage for this type was tightly controlled, with sales largely directed through numismatic subscription rather than general circulation.
