A rare, single-lettered variety to which only the first five series belong.
Piece marked with the most sought-after first series A.
Offered piece in printer-fresh condition with beautifully visible print relief. This is all the more important for the item on display, as many of these banknotes have undergone conservation treatments, which irretrievably erode the print features desired by collectors.
Piece bent vertically and traces horizontally. Minor overbending and imperfections within the corner tips.
Minor discoloration of the paper within the left and top edges.
An attractive, fresh piece with a beautiful, virtually album-like appearance.
As part of the 1950 monetary reform, a new series of banknotes issued on July 1, 1948 was introduced into circulation, consisting of seven denominations. When the decision was made to print the new paper money needed for the reform, it turned out that PWPW's production capacity was completely used up by the production of current banknotes. Soviet printing houses were in the process of printing paper money for their own reform, and therefore could not accept the Polish order. For this reason, they turned to other foreign paper money printing plants, which executed an order for the NBP between 1948 and 1950. Banknotes printed outside the country were rolled over to the PWPW.
