This note belongs to the series prepared in the Soviet Union in 1944 for use by the Soviet-backed Polish Committee of National Liberation (PKWN), which proclaimed itself the legitimate Polish government from Lublin in July of that year — in direct political opposition to the London-based Polish government-in-exile. Goznak handled the initial print run in Moscow, with the Polish Security Printing Works later involved as Warsaw was liberated and infrastructure rebuilt.
The 1 Złoty denomination circulated alongside Soviet military scrip in the chaotic months following the Red Army's westward advance, when multiple competing currencies were moving through the same territory simultaneously.
