10 Zlotys - Banknotes in Circulation Commemorative Coin

This issue belongs to Poland's long-running series honoring historic Polish banknotes, a program NBP has used since the 1990s to document the country's paper money heritage in silver. The series draws directly from the archives of the National Bank and the Bank of Poland's predecessor institutions, some of which issued notes under German occupation or during the currency chaos following both World Wars.

KM#1040 specifically references banknotes that remained in active circulation — a distinction within the series separating everyday transactional notes from commemorative or emergency issues.
