| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Norman Sillman, presents a finely detailed naturalistic depiction of an ormer shell (Haliotis tuberculata) occupying the central field, shown in three-quarter view with its characteristic ribbed and perforated form rendered in high relief. The upper legend arcs BAILIWICK OF JERSEY around the shell, while the denomination TWENTY POUNDS curves along the lower periphery. Raised dots serve as separators flanking the upper legend, and the design reflects the ormer's cultural and culinary significance to the Channel Islands. |
