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

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.
