Bills
The Taler bills, issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100, each display elements related to different members of the Levantine Union. Typically, the obverse shows an iconic structure associated with the nation being represented while the reverse depicts a founding figure of the nation. Burgundie's represented bill - the 20 Taler note - breaks convention by showing its association with the sea on the obverse and a national romantic personification on the reverse. Although the specific artwork and design is chosen by the Levantine Union Currency Authority, the specific items to be depicted are established by official acts of the member governments of the Union.
