About this banknote
The Narodowy Bank Polski (National Bank of Poland) issued the 500 złotych banknote in 1944 as part of the "Lublin series," introduced on September 14, 1944. This series was released following the establishment of the Polish Committee of National Liberation in Lublin, marking the reintroduction of the złoty currency after World War II.
The banknote measures 195 x 102 mm and features black printing on an orange underprint. The word "OBOWIĄZKOWE" is prominently displayed at the bottom of the obverse side. This note was demonetized on December 16, 1946, due to widespread counterfeiting.
