Poland 1936 50 Zlotych Progressive Proof reverse, Pick 78pp2, PMG 66 EPQ Top Pop

Poland 1936 - 50 Zlotych Reverse Progressive Proof (Pick 78pp2)

At this stage of production, only the reverse imagery was printed, using the offset process in pale orange and light-green tones - the same colors later used for the final issue. The PWPW’s documentation and surviving trial sheets show that each printing form measured roughly 557 × 515 mm and contained twelve notes arranged in three rows of four. Serial numbers were impressed before intaglio printing, a practice unique to PWPW at the time, ensuring registration precision. Proofs like this one were pulled to inspect ink density, alignment, and tonal layering prior to the application of engraving and security features. Read more →

New Zealand ND (1924-1933) - Bank of New South Wales Ten Shillings Oversized Proof, Perforated SPECIMEN (Pick S161s)

As a result, this oversized proof constitutes a structurally unique archival artifact. Its rarity is defined by format as well as by function, and it stands as the sole documented oversized proof of the Bank of New South Wales Ten Shillings design. It serves as primary evidence of London security printing workflow and archival practice for colonial banks during the interwar period.

Poland 1936 50 Zlotych Jan Henryk Dabrowski, Pick 78a, PMG 55 EPQ

Poland 1936 - 50 Zlotych Jan Henryk Dąbrowski (Pick 78a, Miłczak 77a–b)

The 50 Zlotych note dated 11 November 1936 with the portrait of General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski represents the highest artistic and symbolic achievement of Polish interwar banknote design. Conceived as the flagship denomination of a fully modernized Bank Polski series, it was intended to embody state continuity, national identity, and technical excellence at a moment when the Second Polish Republic had reached institutional maturity.

Poland 1994 50 Zlotych rare London print C-prefix issued note, serial CH9769411, cataloged as Pick 175a and Milczak 198A, printed by Thomas De La Rue London for Narodowy Bank Polski, depicting King Kazimierz III Wielki with modern post-redenomination security design

Poland 1994 - 50 Zlotych Rare London Print C-Prefix Note, CH9769411, Milczak 198A

This example is significant not because it differs in design from other issued 50 Zlotych notes, but because its CH prefix preserves the only London-printed C-prefix interval within the 1994 denomination series. It represents a small but distinct production-sequence rarity embedded within an otherwise ordinary circulation issue.
