The designs on the 20 seniti coin

The front of the 20 seniti coin features His Majesty, King Tupou VI.

On the reverse side of the coin features the Kalia, a voyaging canoe unique to Tonga. The shape of its double hulls and large sail enables the Kalia to reach great speed on the open seas. Historically, the kalia was used for navigating the open seas but islanders now adapt it to transport people, food, livestock, and crop materials.
