The NIS 20 banknote of series I of the New Sheqel features on its obverse Moshe Sharett (1894-1965), Israel's second prime minister (actually interim prime minister) from 1953 until 1955. Prior to his short tenure as premier, Sharett was the chief negotiator between the Jewish Agency and the British Mandate authorities from 1933 until 1948, whereupon he was Israel's first foreign minister until 1953. In 1949 Israel was accepted as a member of the United Nations, with Moshe Sharett personally raising the national flag in front of the UN headquarters in New York. The famous photograph of Sharett unfolding the Israel flag before it was hoisted appears on the note's obverse.
On the reverse, the Herzliya Hebrew High School in Tel Aviv, from which Moshe Sharett graduated, is shown.
