| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as a mature draped bust with a diadem, rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The hair is elaborately styled and the Queen wears a simple neckline garment. The circular legend reads 'SOUTH GEORGIA & SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS' around the upper periphery, with the date '2006' positioned at the lower right. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field characteristic of high-quality gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed facing portrait of the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen occupies the central field, depicting the dramatist with his characteristic voluminous swept-back hair, full beard, and round spectacles, dressed in a formal coat and bow tie. The legend 'HENRIK IBSEN' arcs across the upper periphery, flanked by the birth and death years '1828' and '1906' on the left and right respectively, each separated by a raised dash. The denomination '£20' appears in a cartouche at the base of the design. The 'PM' mint mark of the Pobjoy Mint is visible in the lower left field. |
