Poland 1919 1000 Złotych, Unissued, PMG 63 EPQ

Poland 1919 - 1000 Zlotych Unissued Note (Pick 59a)

The 1000 zlotych of the 1919 reform series, printed by Waterlow & Sons in London, is one of the largest and most ornate denominations prepared for the new złoty. Intended as part of the first złoty issue of the Second Republic, it was never officially released into circulation in 1924 due to its very high value. Some researchers suggest that a portion of the stock may have been used informally during the September Campaign of 1939 to pay Polish military officers, though no formal documentation confirms this.

Great Britain 1900 - Thomas Cook and Son 4 Pounds 1 Shilling 8 Pence Sight Draft Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)

This sight draft connects naturally with the wider Thomas Cook and Son sequence. It belongs near the earlier Thomas Cook and Son 50 Dollars Circular Note photographic proof and helps explain the payment environment from which the later circular note and travellers cheque instruments developed. It also provides an important contrast with the 1919 Thomas Cook and Son 5 Pounds Circular Note photographic proof and the 1919 Thomas Cook and Son Limited 50 Dollars Travellers Cheques photographic proof with central eagle vignette, where the design language becomes more elaborate, more security-printed, and more explicitly tied to named redemption regions.
