The reverse artwork was executed under the artistic supervision of Wacław Borowski and engraved by Włodzimierz Vacek, two of the most accomplished figures in pre-war Polish graphic arts. It portrays an allegorical composition symbolizing the productive power of the nation - agriculture, industry, and the arts united under the newly reborn Republic.

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.
