| Obverse description | Central design features a stylised bloom of the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Bunga Raya), Malaysia's national flower, rendered with five petals and a prominent central pistil. The denomination '20 SEN' appears in the field, flanking the floral motif, with the date inscribed below. The circular legend 'BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA' arcs around the upper periphery. Flower diameter and petal width vary across issue years, constituting recognised die varieties. The overall design is clean and boldly struck in a modern heraldic style. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Tepak Sirih, a traditional Malay ceremonial betel nut set comprising a lidded metal container with six compartments (Cembul) used to store betel leaves, betel nuts, and lime (kapur). A Kacip, the traditional betel nut cracker, is shown positioned alongside the container. The composition is centrally placed within the field with no surrounding legend or lettering. Minor die varieties are recorded, including differences in the curvature of the betel nut stem depicted on the container. The design celebrates an important element of Malay cultural heritage. |
