10 and 20 (new) Boliváres

The design for the 20 BsS-note was already used in the older sets.

(see : https://rainbowstampsandcoins.blogspot.com/2019/03/currency-today-venezuela-08.html )
Since 10,000 BsF is 200 times 50 BsF, and 20 BsS is 200 times 10,000 BsF, this new note has the same value of 40,000 old 50 BsF notes !

Both notes (10 and 20 BsS) have the same date of issue and the same signature

On the reverse side, both notes continue with endangered or at least vulnerable species.

Althouh its habitat covers a great part of South America, the animal is vulnerable.

The reverse side of the 20 BsS note shows a Jaguar (Yaguar in Spanish).
This animal is not endangered or vulnerable, but close to vulnerability.
The latin name is 'pantera onca', the word 'panther' is derived from classical Latin panthēra, itself from the ancient Greek pánthēr (πάνθηρ).
The word jaguar (Yaguar) however is thought to derive from the Tupian word yaguara, meaning "beast of prey".The word entered English presumably via the Amazonian trade language Tupinambá, via Portuguese jaguar. The specific word for jaguar is yaguareté, with the suffix -eté meaning "real" or "true". The above languages are spoken in various parts in Brazil, next to Venezuela.
