Reversbeschreibung	A finely engraved kingfisher, rendered in high relief with detailed feather work, is depicted perched upon a branch amid tropical foliage occupying the central field. The bird faces to the left, its characteristic long bill and spotted crown rendered with naturalistic precision, forming part of the Endangered Wildlife commemorative series. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination 20 VATU is inscribed along the lower border.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Vanuatu's Reserve Bank has intermittently issued silver collector pieces tied to the archipelago's endemic wildlife, and the kingfisher series capitalized on growing demand from thematic natural history collectors in the early 1990s. Mintages on these issues were typically controlled tightly — the domestic market was tiny, and the coins were never intended for circulation on an island chain where lower-denomination cupro-nickel pieces handled all everyday transactions.
