| Obverse description | A large whale's tail flukes rise prominently from the center of the field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail. Beneath the flukes, a trident and a shepherd's crook or staff cross one another diagonally, forming an X-shaped device. The arc legend 'ESSAI - PATTERN - PROBE' curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, indicating the trial or pattern status of the piece. The date '2012' appears in the lower exergual area in raised numerals. The overall design is executed in a bold, modern engraving style against a smooth, polished field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into two principal zones by a series of vertical lines running from rim to rim across the full field, evoking a stylized architectural or abstract panel motif. To the left, a cluster of irregular stacked horizontal elements in high relief suggests a rugged, textured structure reminiscent of a coastal cliff or stylized map outline. To the right, the denomination numeral '20' is prominently struck in large raised figures. Below the numeral, the currency inscriptions 'XEROS©' and 'CEROS' appear in two lines of raised Latin capitals, with the copyright symbol following 'XEROS'. The design is clean and modernist in character, with strong contrasts between relief and field. |
