The Central Bank of Wesarctica, embodied in His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, is the sole producer of legal tender Westarctica currency in banknote or specie. The 20 “ice mark” note (the currency symbol for which is the U+2745 tight trifoliate snowflake in the Dingbats Unicode block which somewhat resembles a 6-fold symmetrical snowflake) began printing in 2018. It is the first official bill printed by the monarchy since the nation’s inception. Like all banknotes, the Westarctican 20 ice mark banknote has an obverse and a reverse. This document describes the various decorative and security features of both sides of the 2018 printing. | The Central Bank of Wesarctica, embodied in His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, is the sole producer of legal tender Westarctica currency in banknote or specie.
