| Opmerkingen |
Emergency municipal scrip issued at the outbreak of World War One, when the Russian Empire's monetary system began seizing up across its Polish territories and small change vanished almost overnight from circulation. Częstochowa sat directly in the path of the Central Powers' advance, and local savings institutions stepped into the vacuum before any official sanction arrived.
Printed locally by Wilmoszewski rather than a specialist security printer, which shows in the relatively modest production values typical of Polish municipal emergency issues of this period. Dratyński's involvement suggests the society made at least some effort at professional design rather than pure utility printing.
