| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed high-relief depiction of a scorpion rendered in fine silver, occupying the lower right portion of the field and curling its segmented tail upward toward the upper left. A bold, stylised shadow silhouette of the scorpion is struck into the background field, creating a dramatic two-tone visual effect. The series title PREDATORS arcs along the upper rim, with the Latin taxonomic designation SCORPIONES inscribed below it to the left, and the date 2020 centred beneath. The fineness notation 999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ appears in the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a long-running series of wildlife-themed legal tender coins through licensing arrangements with European minting houses — primarily targeting the collector market rather than circulation. The "Scorpions" issue sits within that program, which has produced dozens of distinct animal subjects over roughly two decades.
No DRC 20 Francs coin of this type has ever meaningfully circulated. The country's actual monetary economy runs on Congolese francs in far higher denominations.
