The '''[[20 ice mark note]]''' is the first denomination of [[ice mark|ice marks]] to be issued by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]]. As such, it is the first legal tender paper currency ever created by [[Westarctica]]. The initial release of the banknotes occurred on 27 February 2019. The note was designed by the [[Baron of Bastanchury]] in his capacity as [[Commissioner of the Treasury]]. There was significant debate about backing the ice marks with some real commodity, such as silver, but this was ultimately rejected as financially unfeasible.
