Poland 1 Złoty, 1941, P-99, XF, German Occupation
his 1941 Poland 1 Złoty banknote (Pick P-99) was issued by the Bank Emisyjny w Polsce during the German occupation of Poland in World War II. These occupation-era notes circulated throughout occupied Poland and are among the most collected wartime banknotes of Europe. The note features an ornate design with a large crowned Polish eagle at the center of the obverse, surrounded by intricate guilloche patterns and denomination panels. Unlike later occupation issues featuring portraits, this early design focuses on national symbolism and traditional security engraving.
Issued during one of the most challenging periods in Polish history, these notes provide a tangible connection to the economic conditions of wartime Europe and remain popular among collectors of World War II and occupation currency.
Condition: XF (Extremely Fine) condition, displaying strong paper quality, sharp detail, and only light evidence of circulation. See photo.
