Description and research notes
A complete five-denomination WZÓR specimen set from the 1994 Polish banknote series, comprising 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Zlotych. All five notes bear the same very low official specimen number, WZÓR No. 010, together with serial number AA0000000.
The matching WZÓR No. 010 is the defining feature of the set. It links all five denominations into a single matching-number group and records an exceptionally early stage in the National Bank of Poland's specimen-numbering system for the new series.
Each note preserves the complete design of its denomination with the red WZÓR overprint and WZÓR No. 010 designation. The five-note sequence presents Mieszko I, Boleslaw I Chrobry, Casimir III the Great, Wladyslaw II Jagiello, and Sigismund I the Old, preserving the full denomination and portrait structure of the 1994 issue.
The notes were designed by Andrzej Heidrich and printed by Thomas De La Rue in London for the National Bank of Poland. The WZÓR No. 010 designation belongs to the Polish NBP specimen system and identifies the numbered reference status of the notes.
Together, the five AA0000000 notes with matching WZÓR No. 010 form a complete, matching-number specimen set documenting the full structure of Poland's 1994 banknote series and an unusually low specimen number shared across every denomination.
