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.

Ireland - Northern 2004 - Northern Bank £50 Specimen NR126 (Pick Unlisted)
