Poland 1919 - Bank Polski 1 Zloty Specimen S.36B 060793 with WZÓR and BEZ WARTOŚCI Overprints (Pick 51s)

Two circular perforations pass vertically through the central portion of the note.

The visible specimen control number 1893 is separate from the regular serial number 060793 and records the note within the specimen-control system used for this issue. Read more →

Poland 1919 1000 Złotych, Unissued, PMG 63 EPQ

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

Though technically an unissued type, the 1000 złotych is one of the most coveted of the 1919 notes. Survivors are few, and most show heavy folds or restoration. This example, graded PMG 63 EPQ, is a choice survivor combining originality, vibrant inks, and paper integrity - a rare high-grade representative of Poland’s monumental early złoty design and a cornerstone of any serious interwar collection.

Poland 1940 10 Złotych Printing Remnants, forgery workshop underprint, PMG descriptive holder

Poland 1940 - 10 Zlotych Printing Remnants Forgery Workshop Underprint (Miłczak 94)

The paper is of the same type as the original issue, including watermark, underscoring the sophistication of the operation. Such workshop remnants rarely survive, as they were typically destroyed once full notes were completed or abandoned. This example is preserved in a descriptive PMG holder (labeled 'Printing Remnants'), without an assigned numeric grade. By appearance, it remains close to original emission quality, showing crisp paper and fresh inks with no obvious circulation wear. Read more →

Poland 1940 500 Złotych Series A with counterfeit numbering link, PMG 15

Poland 1940 - 500 Zlotych, Series A with Counterfeit Numbering (Pick 98a)

A 1319803 documents an unusual consequence of that operation: an authentic Bank Emisyjny w Polsce banknote whose legitimate serial number became associated with clandestine wartime production. Certified PMG 15 Choice Fine, the note retains the characteristic design of the 1940 500 złotych issue, dominated by the portrait of a Góral highlander that gave the denomination its popular name, "Góral." As a genuine note surviving from the compromised 13xxxxx sequence, it provides direct material evidence of the point at which ordinary circulating currency, resistance activity and wartime monetary control intersected in occupied Poland.

Poland 1940 20 Złotych Series N, WWII London Counterfeit, PMG 64

Poland 1940 - 20 Zlotych, Series N WWII London Counterfeit (Pick 95b)

20 złotych dated 1 March 1940, issued under the Bank Emisyjny w Polsce during the German occupation, here from Series N - a rarer subtype known as the 'WWII London Counterfeit' (LC). This variety is recognized by its distinct olive-toned underprint, setting it apart from the more common genuine emissions. PMG has described this piece as a diversionary counterfeit, aligning it with the series of clandestine productions created to destabilize the wartime Polish economy. Read more →

Poland 1940 500 Złotych Series B, unfinished print fragment with partial obverse and full reverse, PMG holdered

Poland 1940 - 500 Zlotych Series B Unfinished Print Fragment (Pick 98)

The reverse is considerably more advanced, carrying the view of Morskie Oko and the Tatra Mountains together with the principal denomination elements. At right, the open field of the paper contains the watermark. When the same reverse is viewed under transmitted light, the watermark becomes especially clear, showing the profile of a Highlander wearing traditional headwear. PMG identifies the watermark on the holder as "Man's Head." Read more →

Austria 1800 - Wiener Stadt Banco 5 Gulden Issued Note (Pick A33)

Within the denomination hierarchy, 5 Gulden functioned as a true intermediary value. It was sufficiently substantial to serve for tax payments, rents, wholesale trade, and administrative settlements, yet not so high as to be confined exclusively to institutional or elite use. This made the denomination central to the functioning of the paper-money system, bridging the everyday transactional role of the 1 Gulden and the more capital-oriented function of higher denominations such as the 10 Gulden.

Austria 1806 - Wiener Stadt Banco 10 Gulden Issued Note (Pick A39a)

Banco-Zettel circulated as compulsory legal tender throughout the Habsburg lands, forming a unified monetary framework for a linguistically and culturally diverse empire. In the Austrian partition of Poland (Galicia), the gulden operated under the established accounting name Złoty Reński and was fully absorbed into local economic practice. The inclusion of Polish-language denomination text on the note was a practical administrative measure, ensuring intelligibility and acceptance among Polish-speaking populations rather than serving a symbolic function.

Certified PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated, this example ranks at the top of the surviving population. It retains perfect centering, fresh paper gloss, and original embossing.
