The twenty lei banknote is one of the circulating denominations of the Romanian lei.
The main color of the banknote is Olive green. It depicts heroine and soldier Ecaterina Teodoroiu on the obverse and Mausoleum of Mărășești with Victoria as depicted on the Romanian Victory Medal.
In 2021 National Bank of Romania has officially presented the new 20-lei banknote, which has been put into circulation starting from 1 December 2021. It is the first banknote with legal tender to feature a female personality.[1]
It is printed using the offset printing technique (like the one leu and five lei banknotes). The official reason was the prevention of counterfeiting.[2]
