Israel's shift to polymer began with this series, and the 20 New Sheqalim was among the first denominations released in the new substrate. Note Printing Australia in Melbourne produced the note — the same facility responsible for Australia's own pioneering polymer currency work — which explains why the technical execution is unusually clean for a first-generation issue.
Stanley Fischer's signature here dates to his tenure as Bank of Israel Governor from 2005 to 2013, a period during which he drew considerable international attention for Israel's management of the 2008 global financial crisis.
