Germany €20 : Euro Series II 'Europa' (2015)
Euro Second Series

Reinhold Gerstetter, an independent banknote designer, was chosen by the European Central Bank to redesign the euro notes.

In the new series, there are two codes, like in the first series. They are the printer code in the top right hand corner (front) and the serial number (back). Part of the serial number is horizontal and part of it is vertical. The serial number begins with a letter indicating the printer, which is broadly similar to the first series (Z for Belgium, Y for Greece, etc.). The second letter of the new serial numbers is part of the serial number itself, and has no further significance.

However, as the code indicates the printer, rather than the issuing NCB, certain letters have been reassigned from NCBs which do not maintain their own printing facilities. In the first series, H denoted Slovenia. As there is no Slovene printer of euro banknotes, H represents De La Rue (Loughton) in the second series. Several of the printers which replaced what were NCB codes maintain their printing code from the first series (De La Rue, mentioned, and Bundesdruckerei, which replaced Luxembourg as R, its previous printing code).

The acronyms of the name of the European Central Bank in ten linguistic variants, covering all official languages of the EU28. For 5 euro, 10 euro and 20 euro notes, they do not feature ESB, as Croatian became an official language only in July 2013 with the accession of Croatia, after the introduction of the banknote design earlier that year.
