January Uprising provisional bond for 5,000 1863 zlotys.
This is the highest and rarest denomination of temporary bond to acquire, although there is a higher denomination (10,000 zloty) but this one is known only from the number of 2 pieces (R9).
Variety - with one small stamp : of the National Government of the Treasury Department and with twice handwritten numbering, on the part of the bond proper, as well as on the control coupon.
Temporary bonds of the January Uprising of 1863, are historically interesting paper collector's objects, which, due to the lack of banknotes of the period, as well as the sheer size, are very eagerly attached to collections of Polish banknotes despite the fact that they are actually debt securities in temporary form, promising a yield of 5% per year, with the promise of converting them into permanent bonds with coupons and realizing profits in the form of redemption with interest payments.
