The Polish 20 PLN note with Marshal Józef Pilsudski's image commemorating the 100th anniversary of forming Polish Legions was honored with the “Banknote of the Year Award” during the High Security Printing conference held in Budapest last month. The artist, Andrzej Heindrich, based its design on his earlier project from the early 90-ties meant for the 5,000,000 note. However, though ready this note never made to circulation, because of the denomination process in Poland which started in January 1995. The 20 PLN note combines the classic design and the newest technology. It is the first polymer (not paper) based money in Poland.
