Catalog description

This 2-zloty banknote belongs to the first post-war issue of Polish paper money, prepared in 1944 amid the reconstruction of public administration and the monetary system in the parts of Poland emerging from wartime occupation. The Lubelska Series was intended to restore a national currency circulation and replace the variety of payment media used during the war. Its rectangular paper format reflects the practical character of the issue, with the denomination, the year 1944, and the official nature of the printed money forming its essential visual identity.

For collectors, the note is interesting both for its historical setting and for the recorded textual varieties within the same year. One documented variety is distinguished by the spelling of the final word in the text as “OBOWIĄZKOWE”, a useful detail when comparing and cataloguing specimens. The 2-zloty denomination was a low-value unit intended for small everyday payments, although its actual purchasing power varied considerably with place and economic conditions in 1944. The note therefore represents not only an example of early post-war monetary design, but also a document of the transition from wartime monetary disorder toward the reconstruction of Poland’s payment system.
