The commemorative 20 riyal note, released in 2020 to commemorate the [[G20]], attracted attention on release, as its reverse depicts the disputed territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] as a separate nation from [[India]]. While this design feature was met with criticism in most of India, it was received favourably by people in Kashmir and on social media, as it was viewed as a tacit form of approval of the region's separatism movement.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Osman |first=Nadda |date=30 October 2020 |title=Saudi G20 banknote angers India by depicting independent Kashmir |url=http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/saudi-arabia-g20-currency-jammu-and-kashmir-india |access-date=2023-06-23 |website=[[Middle East Eye]] |language=en |archive-date=2023-02-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230201225613/https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/saudi-arabia-g20-currency-jammu-and-kashmir-india |url-status=live }}</ref>
