| Reverse description | The reverse features a centrally positioned coconut crab (Birgus latro), depicted in naturalistic relief with its characteristic large claws and segmented body. Flanking the crab on either side are stylised coconut palm trees, reinforcing the tropical Pacific setting. The denomination 20 VATU appears as a bold legend in the upper field above the central design. The composition is clean and well-centred, with the crab rendered with sufficient anatomical detail to be identifiable as the world's largest land arthropod. |
