Poland 1919 1000 Złotych, Unissued, PMG 63 EPQ

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

The 1000 zlotych of the 1919 reform series, printed by Waterlow & Sons in London, is one of the largest and most ornate denominations prepared for the new złoty. Intended as part of the first złoty issue of the Second Republic, it was never officially released into circulation in 1924 due to its very high value. Some researchers suggest that a portion of the stock may have been used informally during the September Campaign of 1939 to pay Polish military officers, though no formal documentation confirms this.

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 1933 - 25 Złotych Investment Fund Voucher, Series I, PMG 55 EPQ

Poland 1933 - 25 Zlotych Investment Fund Voucher, Series I Bon Funduszu Inwestycyjnego (Lucow 732)

The vouchers (bony funduszu inwestycyjnego) functioned as state debt instruments, essentially IOUs of the Treasury. They were non-interest bearing, but widely accepted for the payment of taxes, customs duties, and official fees owed to the state. To encourage their use, the government held weekly drawings in which selected bond numbers were repurchased at four times face value, meaning that a 25 zł voucher could be redeemed for 100 zł if chosen. This combination of fiscal utility and lottery incentive gave the notes a dual role as both practical and speculative instruments in the interwar economy. Read more →

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

Diversionary counterfeits were introduced in significant volume during the occupation, intended to erode public confidence in currency circulation.

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 1988 50 Złotych banknote prefix HK6400358 missing date and signatures of Prezes and Główny Skarbnik due to typographic printing omission

Poland 1988 - 50 Zlotych Prefix HK Missing Signatures Date Print Error Issued Note (Pick 142c)

Errors affecting the signature and date panel are significantly scarcer than ordinary color shifts or minor registration faults because they require a failure in the final stage of production after most printing operations were already completed. Such pieces provide valuable insight into the layered printing workflow used by PWPW in the late 1980s, immediately prior to the monetary reforms that would transform the Polish currency system in the following decade.
