| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The obverse is printed in black on cream paper within a decorative border of small oval ornaments. At the top, the title 'BILET SKARBOWY' appears in large calligraphic lettering, followed by the authorization line 'Uchwała Rady Naywyższey Narod. Dnia 8 Czerw. 1794.' The central vignette presents the combined arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth — the Polish eagle and the Lithuanian Pursuer — flanking a column topped with a crown, set above crossed cannon barrels and a cannonball. The denomination numeral '10' appears in a typeset box to the left and the word 'DZIESIĘC' in a typeset panel to the right. Below the vignette, a lengthy cursive text in Polish states the note's value and the Treasury's obligation to redeem it. A manuscript signature and a serial number in an oval cartouche appear in the lower portion of the note. |

The Dyrekcja Biletów Skarbowych was created in 1794 specifically to finance the Kościuszko Uprising, the last serious military effort to preserve Polish independence before the Third Partition erased the state entirely later that year. These notes were emergency war financing, authorized by the insurrectionary government in Warsaw and backed by nothing more durable than the hope that the revolt would succeed.
It didn't. The uprising collapsed in November 1794, and within a year Poland had ceased to exist as a sovereign entity. Notes that survived the conflict had no issuing authority left to redeem them.
