It appears that 19 and 20 are the only numbers > 9 that can be written up to base 19 only using digits 0 to 9 and 20 is the only number > 9 that can be written up to base 20 only using digits 0 to 9.
It is a plausible conjecture that there are no more terms, but this has not been proved. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 17 2017
