Bank Polski had evacuated its gold reserves and senior staff westward in September 1939 before the Germans reached Warsaw. This note was designed and printed in London — by Edmund Dulac, the Franco-British illustrator better known for postage stamps and book illustrations — as currency for a government that had no territory to circulate it in. Vacek's engraving brought a level of technical refinement that arguably exceeded anything Bank Polski had issued domestically.
Actual distribution was extremely limited. Some notes reached Polish Armed Forces in the West; the majority remained in storage. The 1939 series was never legal tender in liberated Poland, the communist government having established its own monetary authority in the interim.
