Reverse description	The reverse displays the Arabic numeral '٢٠' (20) prominently in the upper central field beneath a decorative crescent motif. The denomination 'أوقية' (Ouguiya) is inscribed in the centre of the field. Two upswept wheat or millet ears frame the central device symmetrically, with their bases converging on a crescent-and-star symbol at the lower centre, echoing the national emblem. The Hijri year in Eastern Arabic numerals appears along the lower exergual area. The Arabic legend 'البنك المركزي الموريتاني' (The Central Bank of Mauritania) runs around the upper periphery within a raised border.
