Poland 1994 50 Złotych front proof, Pick 175ap1, PMG 63 Choice Uncirculated, final approved obverse design by Thomas De La Rue

Poland 1994 - 50 Zlotych Front Proof (Pick 175ap1)

The 1994 series marked Poland’s first fully modern banknote family following economic transformation and redenomination. It introduced a new visual identity grounded in historical portraiture, contemporary engraving techniques, and significantly upgraded anti-counterfeiting structures. Surviving proof material from this stage is exceptionally scarce due to routine archival destruction of trial and approval sheets once production concluded. Read more →

Poland 1926 10 Zlotych watermarked paper with Boleslaw Chrobry 10 ZL watermark

Poland 1926 - Bank Polski 10 Zlotych Archival Watermarked Paper (Miłczak 64)

Surviving examples are scarce because most unprinted sheets were consumed or destroyed during printing tests at the Bank Polski’s security works in Warsaw. A handful were preserved as reference stock or acquired by collectors from institutional disposals in the 1930s. Today, these pieces offer direct insight into the technical process of watermark standardization in the Second Polish Republic. 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)

PMG encapsulated the piece under the descriptive designation "Printing Remnants" without assigning a numerical grade. Its importance lies in the production evidence retained within a single unfinished note: the established obverse underprint, the absence of the principal obverse design, a substantially developed reverse, the B 2048322 serial number and the original watermarked paper. Together, these features preserve several normally integrated elements of banknote manufacture in an unfinished state. Read more →

Poland 1940 Bank Emisyjny w Polsce 10 Złotych Prefix C approval specimen, Kraków issue, featuring Fryderyk Chopin portrait on the reverse

Poland 1940 - 10 Zlotych Bank Emisyjny w Polsce Prefix C Kraków Issue Approval Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

The obverse follows established Polish banknote conventions developed during the late interwar period. Allegorical female figures, symmetrical composition, and restrained ornamentation reflect a conscious continuation of pre-1939 visual language. This continuity was intentional: for a denomination intended for frequent everyday use, recognizability and formal stability took precedence over stylistic innovation. Read more →

Poland 1940 Bank Emisyjny w Polsce 20 Złotych Prefix A approval specimen, Kraków issue, with Emilia Plater portrait on the obverse

Poland 1940 - 20 Zlotych Bank Emisyjny w Polsce Prefix A Kraków Issue Approval Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

The artistic program is deliberate and historically anchored. Allegorical figures flank the central denomination panel in a restrained classical idiom that continues the visual language of late interwar Polish banknotes. Rather than introducing a new aesthetic, the issuing authority preserved familiar compositional structures associated with order, continuity, and institutional legitimacy. In the context of occupation, this was a calculated design choice: authority was asserted through familiarity rather than disruption. Read more →
