post-Wladyslaw Grabski reform issues, 50 zloty, 11.11.1936; Jan Henryk Dabrowski, AM series, numbering 1201382; Lucow 689 (R7), Miłczak 77a; beautiful piece, one of the best preserved on the collector's market, small paper corrugations being a feature of "wet" printing, one of the rarest banknotes of the Second Republic of Poland.
In the second half of the 1930s it was decided to prepare, graphically and thematically unified, a new issue of banknotes. Work on the higher denominations (20 and 50 zlotys), was entrusted to the graphic designer Waclaw Borowski, while the printing plates were prepared by Wlodzimierz Vacek. Execution was entrusted to the State Securities Company SA in Warsaw, and the person responsible for the entire project was PWPW technical director Karol Chybiński. After numerous attempts, it was not until 1939 that 50-zloty banknotes were successfully made, and delivery to the Bank of Poland, in a modest quantity, took place in the first days of September 1939. Unfortunately, it did not manage to be officially put into circulation, but a small part of the 2,000 pieces delivered, was released by the Bank.
