Catalog description

This 100-zloty banknote belongs to the 1944 Lubelska’s Series, issued during the reconstruction of Poland’s monetary system after the Second World War. The rectangular paper note measures 188 × 100 mm and reflects the practical role of contemporary banknotes as circulating money rather than commemorative or collector issues. Its importance lies chiefly in its place in the history of the Polish zloty during the first months of the post-war administration and economy.

The catalog distinguishes an original variant dated 1944 from a later 1974 reprint that retained the old date. This distinction is important to collectors, since the year printed on a banknote does not always identify the moment when that particular example was produced or placed into circulation. The 1944 variant is recorded in three serial-number varieties, while the reprint is described with serial number 778093. The combination of an original issue and a later reprint makes this type an interesting example of a banknote design’s extended life and of the changes that can arise in circulation and catalog classification.
