The metallic specifications 20g and Ag 999 appear in the left and right fields respectively, and a continuous beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a boldly stylised tiger (Panthera tigris) depicted in a prowling, forward-crouching posture with head raised and jaws open in a snarl, rendered in a graphic linear style with strong contrasting striped patterning against the mirror-polished proof field. Behind and beneath the animal, large stylised numerals suggesting the figure '3' appear in low relief, possibly referencing a series or thematic number. To the left of the tiger's body appears the mint or series logo — a stylised 'f15' monogram — accompanied by the date 2020 beneath it. The legend PANTHERA TIGRIS • 999 SILVER arcs along the upper periphery. The design is executed in a contemporary illustrative engraving style with no beaded border. |
