| Reverse description | The reverse features a raised cameo-style portrait of the Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton occupying the upper portion of the field, presented in high relief against a frosted background. Below the portrait, the icebound three-masted barque Endurance is depicted trapped in polar pack ice, rendered in fine detail. The legend SIR ERNEST HENRY SHACKLETON arcs along the upper periphery, with ENDURANCE inscribed centrally between the portrait and the ship. The dates 1874 and 1922, denoting Shackleton's birth and death years, flank the central design, and the denomination 20 POUNDS appears in the lower field. |
