...Northern Ireland, Danske Bank - £20 Dated 2022 Polymer

Tuaisceart Éireann

(Northern Ireland)

Danske Bank Limited (since 15.11.2012)
Currency : Pound Sterling (GBP)

This is a reprint of the £20 Danske Bank polymer banknote, first introduced on 20.07.2020. This series of polymer notes retains the same designs of the previous paper note issued. 

 

All three commercial banks in Northern Ireland have adopted polymer banknotes series since 2019. Unlike the Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank, Danske Bank is the only bank that did not issue a £5 polymer note. So far the bank has only introduced the £10 and £20 notes, and it is very unlikely that the £50 or the £100 polymer notes will be introduced either.

Signature - Victoria (Vicky) Davies (tenure 2021-)

Date - Belfast, 25th July 2022

Front - On the front, it features the portrait of Harry Ferguson (b.1884-1960) and a Ferguson tractor. Harry Ferguson was a mechanic and a famous inventor, who is well known for his role in the development of agricultural tractors. 

 

Back - On the back, it depicts the fascia of City Hall in Belfast. The Belfast City Hall is situated in Donegall Square. The Belfast City hall was built in 1906. In 2006, it celebrated its centenary with an exhibition. It is interesting to note that the City Hall in Durban South Africa also has the same city hall also identical to the one in Belfast. The designer for the Durban City Hall was inspired and influenced by the Belfast City Hall design.
