The end of the 18th century in the Polish territories was marked by a financial crisis, there was a shortage of silver and gold. It was decided to print paper money. On June 8, 1794, the Supreme National Council passed a resolution to issue treasury tickets. It was on this date that the first denominations appeared, i.e. 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 Polish zlotys. The banknotes were printed on one side. The obverse bears the text of the resolution of the Supreme National Council. Beneath the text is a White Eagle and symbols of the French Revolution, i.e. chains of absolutism, a fragment of prison walls ora a Phrygian cap. The color of the ticket varied depending on the denomination.
