It represents 12 euro cents or 14 dollar cents...

20 rupees - 2 versions |
different dates on 20 rupees |
The note below is dated 2007 to now. There re therefore 2 issues in 2007.
In uncirculated condition, the notes of the first issue are the better ones.
From the new issue, only the first 3 years are better priced than the later ones.
Looking at the signatures, I found the following:
Signature 15 - on 2005 and 2006 notes
Signature 16 - on 2009 and 2010 notes
Signature 17 (?) - on 2010 notes
Although the note was issued in 2010, the 2018 Krause catalogue (Pick-numbering), does not mention this signature. Therefore, I wrote a question mark.
Following signatures aren't mentionned in the catalogue either, but that's because they are too recent.
Signature 18 (?) - on 2017 notes (here on a 100 rupees - note)
On the back side of the banknote, the archaeological site of Mohenjo-Daro, in the province of Sindh in Pakistan. This site was one of the first and largest cities in the world and was built around 2500BC.
It was destroyed and rebuilt for many times, and then abandonned around 1800BC.
In 1920 it was rediscovered. Now it is on the Unesco World Heritage list, but due to improper restoration and erosion it is currently severely threatened.
