Everything about The New Zealand 20 Dollar Note totally explained

New Zealand dollar.
The $20 note was introduced on

Design
First Issue (1967 to 1981)
The first $20 notes featured
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, with a window watermark panel showing a portrait of
Captain James Cook. The obverse featured a
kereru (
Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) and a
miro (
Prumnopitys ferruginea).
Second Issue (1982 to 1990)
This issue's design was very similar to the first issue, with the most obvious difference being the updated portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
Third Issue (1990 to 1999)
In 1990, all of New Zealand's notes were redesigned. The new $20 note featured Queen Elizabeth II and the New Zealand Parliament Buildings on the obverse, while the reverse featured a New Zealand Alpine scene, containing a
karearea (
Falco novaeseelandiae), Marlborough rock daisy (
Pachystegia insignis), Flowering red tussock (
Chionchloa rubra) and
Mount Tapuaenuku.
Fourth Issue (1999 to present)
In 1999, the $20 note changed to polymer. The basic design of the note remained unchanged, although new anti-conterfeiting measures such as transparent sections of the note were added, and the metallic stripe removed.
