Default metric when redistributing the default route into OSPF

I was looking at couple of cisco articles and they happened to mention that the default Metric when redistributing the default route from IGP/Static into OSPF is "20". But when I did a LAB in GNS3, it showed me a metric of "1". Which one is accurate?

Here is the output of "show ip ospf database external"

--------------------------------------------------

LS age: 1
Options: (No TOS-capability, DC, Upward)
LS Type: AS External Link
Link State ID: 0.0.0.0 (External Network Number )
Advertising Router: 30.0.0.2
LS Seq Number: 80000006
Checksum: 0x1677
Length: 36
Network Mask: /0
Metric Type: 2 (Larger than any link state path)
MTID: 0
Metric: 1
Forward Address: 0.0.0.0
External Route Tag: 1
