EU banknotes

The fourth in a series of four

Designed by Luc Luyx,  a Belgian, the front of the European Union banknotes shows images of architecture through the ages — Classic, Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque.  No specific monuments are shown.

The front of the €20 note shows stained-glass windows against the dim background of a gothic cathedral, all of which is circled by the stars of the member states.  The EU flag appears in the top left hand corner.

This note shows images of bay windows (?) against the dim background of a classic façade of a building, also circled by the stars of the member states.  EU flag is in the top left hand corner.

 

Both of the reverse sides of these notes have the map of Europe circled by the stars of member states.  The architectural motif is now traditional bridges and archways.
