| Obverse description | The obverse features a dynamic, stylized figure in high relief, depicted in motion against a textured rocky landscape, evoking a salt carrier or allegorical personification associated with the historic salt trade. To the right, a decorative lattice or crystalline structure rendered in geometric lines alludes to salt crystals or a salt mine framework. The legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin characters, while the denomination 20 EURO and the date 2024 appear in the lower right field. A beaded inner border frames the entire composition, which is executed in a contemporary sculptural style characteristic of the Austrian Mint's modern commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed bas-relief scene inspired by ancient Near Eastern or Celtic artistic traditions, depicting a salt merchant seated in a two-wheeled cart drawn by a horse shown in profile to the left. Behind the driver, two standing figures engage in the exchange or handling of goods, with a large amphora or storage vessel prominently placed between them, referencing the commodity of salt. To the right, stacked rectangular blocks suggestive of salt loaves or hewn stone complete the narrative composition. The entire scene is enclosed within a beaded inner border, and the field is entirely free of legends, allowing the figural relief to serve as the sole focus of the design. |
