A sought-after and treasured banknote, considered by many to be the most beautiful Polish banknote.
Officially uncirculated, but with a high degree of probability it was used as payment of pay to officers of the September Campaign. Indeed, there is a known case of finding such a banknote with a murdered officer in Katyn, which was hidden in a double shoe sole.
Today it is one of the most prized Polish banknotes. It is the result of a combination of rarity, high denomination, representative dimensions and excellent design by the well-known London printer Waterlow & Sons Limited.
Variant numbered with identical font height.
Trace deflected by the printed field, the rest of the bill's technical field without remarks. Typical for this denomination, trace foxing discoloration on edges.
Piece of bank presence in printer's condition with beautifully preserved vivid print color.
The Polish mark was replaced in 1924 by a currency called the zloty, the PKKP was abolished and replaced by the Bank of Poland. The first to be introduced were pass tickets (made in France and England) with denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 zlotys, while 1,000 and 5,000 were not put into circulation. A second issue based on the previous design was issued in 1924.
