Picture of the 20-krone banknote from the 1972 series
Format: 125 mm x 72 mm
Issued 11 March 1980. Withdrawn since 10 April 1990 and replaced by a coin.

Motifs
The portrait on the face of the banknote shows Pauline Tutein, née Rath, who was married to the merchant Peter Tutein. The portrait was painted by Jens Juel (1745-1802). The watermark on the 20-krone banknote differs from that on the other notes in the 1972 series, in that it shows a palette with brushes.

The two sparrows were reproduced from a drawing by Danmarks Nationalbank's illustrator at that time, Gunnar Andersen (1919-1981).
