Polish 20 Złoty Banknote
This is a 20 złoty banknote issued by the Narodowy Bank Polski (National Bank of Poland). The note features a predominantly purple and pink color scheme with tan architectural background elements. The obverse prominently displays a portrait of King Bolesław I the Brave (Bolesław I Chrobry), the first crowned King of Poland, within a circular frame. To the right of the portrait is the Polish national coat of arms—an eagle with a crown—and the text 'NARODOWY BANK POLSKI'. The denomination '20' is printed in large numerals in the upper right and bottom right corners, with the words 'DWADZIEŚCIA ZŁOTYCH' displayed at the top. The note includes a serial number 'BP0288228' printed vertically on the left and horizontally on the bottom left. Security features such as microprinting, watermarks, and complex guilloché patterns are visible. The paper shows significant signs of circulation, including heavy vertical and diagonal creasing, softened corners, and slight edge wear. The date 'WARSZAWA 15 WRZEŚNIA 2016' and signatures of the Bank's President and General Treasurer are legible. The craftsmanship reflects modern security printing standards with high-detail intaglio and offset printing processes.
