| Reverse description | The reverse, printed on the same rose-red paper, is enclosed by the identical repeating arrow-point border and is largely unadorned. The lower field carries mirror-image block letters 'S' and 'B' in dark ink, while a faint oval watermark device is discernible at centre. The upper field is intentionally blank, consistent with the utilitarian, emergency-issue nature of these insurrection-period treasury bills. |

The Kasa Pożyczkowa Narodowa was established in August 1794 specifically to finance the Kościuszko Uprising — Poland's last major armed effort before the Third Partition extinguished the state entirely. These notes were emergency instruments, authorized under wartime conditions and backed by little more than the expectation of a victory that never came. The treasury itself ceased to function before the year was out.
Because the uprising collapsed in November 1794, the entire note issue was rendered worthless within months of printing. Surviving examples did not circulate long.
