A very rare 10 zloty ticket issued by the Treasury Fund of Liberated Poland. On the ribbons in the corners the equivalent in foreign currencies i.e. Italian, German, French and Prussian.
Pieces unique because with handwritten date "1855". which unquestionably increases the rarity and distinctiveness of the offered piece. Virtually all known pieces were not marked with the date.
Printed on extremely fragile parchment paper, hence the fractures with cracks on their lines and numerous tears are not surprising.
Print well preserved - contrasting. Central Committee Stamp.
Excellent presentation for such a rare item of great historical value.
In 1848-1849, as a result of the ongoing Spring of Nations, low denomination coins disappeared from circulation in the Galician area. They were replaced by private paper money with inscriptions mainly in German. Vouchers in Hebrew and Polish appeared less frequently. These were money that amounted to krajcars.
In 1850, the Polish Central Committee, which had settled in exile in London, joined the European Central Committee to raise funds for revolutionary activities. A fund for the development of the activities of the Treasury of Liberated Poland was established in London. In order to raise funds, in 1853 loan bonds were printed for 10, 20, 50 and 100 Polish zlotys bearing interest at 5%. On each bond there was an equivalent amount expressed in English, French, Italian and Prussian currencies.
