| Reverse description | A ewe and her lamb are depicted grazing in a pastoral landscape, rendered in high relief within a recessed central field suggestive of a sunken cartouche, with a mountain silhouette visible in the background. The engraver's signature 'D. TURASELA' appears in small letters within the central design. The denomination '20 MALOTI' is inscribed along the lower periphery, while the legend 'F.A.O. KHOTSO PULA NALA' curves along the upper periphery, referencing the FAO food programme and the Sesotho motto meaning 'Peace, Rain, Prosperity.' Four five-pointed stars and a small lozenge ornament the flat border, all enclosed within a beaded rim. |
