Hitherto unlisted pair of General Government of Warsaw, Series I specimens with erroneous "Jenerał-Gubernatorstwo" clause.
Obverse print with diagonal red Muster overprint. Reverse print numbered A 0000000 and with red diagonal Muster overprint.
Pieces printed on plain paper in contrast to the final introduced version, which was printed on striped paper. A hitherto unlisted variant of the design with single-sided printing on plain paper. Probably a one-off piece, which allows us to assume that not only the 100-mark denomination lived to see a version of the design on smooth paper, but also the 20- and 50-mark(?) denominations.
Obverse with no signs of deflection through the printed field, but with imperfections and minor deflections within the margins and corner tips. Print colors well preserved, slightly lightened. Rust-colored paperclip mark on the obverse. The banknote bears traces of contact with moisture as a result of the die-cutting process, which is the case with the vast majority of known similar designs. As a result of the process, the Muster print does not retain its natural luster.
The reverse, like the obverse, is well preserved, with no technical flaws, but also with the effects of the die-cutting process. A rusty paperclip mark on the reverse, partially erased due to contact with water. Printing colors impossibly brightened, the Muster print does not retain its original luster due to the pasting process carried out.
The patterns of Polish brands issued under the administration of the General Government of Warsaw constitute the rarest and most difficult to complete issue among all Polish patterns of the 20th century.
A pair of patterns that represents a significant discovery in the study of Polish paper money.
Designs that can boldly be called UNIQUE for today.
