The Poznań–Piła line opened in 1879 under Prussian administration, connecting two significant nodes in the Provinz Posen rail network at a time when German authorities were actively expanding infrastructure to consolidate control over the region. The 145th anniversary falls in 2024 — an awkward number to commemorate, but regional railway enthusiasts and local governments across Poland have increasingly used the EuroSouvenir program as a low-cost vehicle for niche historical commemoration that would never justify a formal postal or numismatic issue.
Oberthur's involvement keeps the physical object credible — security thread included — though these notes have no tender status anywhere.
