-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.
+'''''[[Caloplaca saxicola]]''''' is a small bright orange crustose [[lichen]] that grows on rock all over the world, including [[Antarctica]]. It is commonly called rock firedot lichen, jewel lichen or rock jewel lichen. It has short, inflated looking elongate 1–2 mm and .3-.1 mm wide lobes that have an abrupt margin at the edge, and no prothallus.
-The obverse (i.e., front face) of the note has an engraved rendering of Grand Duke Travis on its left side. Above/ Superior to this appears the symbol for "ice mark" (the snowflake) followed by the horizontal unrotated number "20", both superficial to an ovoid guilloche pattern which itself appears deep to the portrait of the Grand Duke.  Inferior to/ Beneath the face of the Grand Duke appear his signature and the signature of the Commissioner of the Treasury, both unrotated and horizontal. The issuing bank, the Central Bank of Westarctica, appears in horizontal text rotated 90° counterclockwise just to the left of these.
+''C. saxicola'' is one of the few [[lichen]]s found in [[Westarctica]], and is likely the most southerly plant life. The [[Caloplaca Hills]] were named for this lichen, which grows on the rocks there. This lichen occurs over a portion of northern North America as far north as the Canadian Boreal forests, where Black Spruce is a dominant tree. In California, it is one of the most common saxicolous lichens.
