Poland 1988 50 Złotych banknote prefix HK6400358 missing date and signatures of Prezes and Główny Skarbnik due to typographic printing omission

Poland 1988 - 50 Zlotych Prefix HK Missing Signatures Date Print Error Issued Note (Pick 142c)

Production of these notes involved multiple sequential printing stages. First a multicolor offset background and security pattern were applied, followed by intaglio engraving for the portrait and main denomination elements. Serial numbers were then printed in red, after which a separate typographic pass added the date line and official signatures. The present error indicates that the sheet either skipped the final typographic stage or passed through the press with an uninked plate, leaving the signature panel blank while all other printing layers remain complete.

Organized in May 1927, The Thomas County National Bank of Colby, Kansas, was one of the last institutions chartered under the National Banking Act, entering the system just as small-town banks faced increasing consolidation pressures. Chartered as number 13076, it was led by cashier N. Reimers and president W. D. Ferguson, whose engraved signatures appear boldly in dark ink on this note. Despite its late founding date, the bank issued both large-size 1902 Plain Backs and small-size 1929 series notes before the National system’s absorption into the FDIC framework in the mid-1930s.
