| Beschrijving voorzijde | Green note centred on a large oval vignette of the Polish crowned white eagle on a red shield, rendered in intaglio against a guilloche underprint. The denomination numeral '5' appears in oval cartouches at upper left and upper right, with the title 'MAREK POLSKICH' arched across the top. Two columns of letterpress text flank the central vignette: the left panel carries a German-language warranty of the Generalgouvernement Warschau dated 9 December 1916, and the right panel contains an anti-counterfeiting warning in Polish; the date '1917' and two facsimile signatures appear along the lower margin. |

The Polska Krajowa Kasa Pożyczkowa — the Polish State Loan Bank — was a German-administered institution established in 1916 as occupation currency infrastructure, not a Polish sovereign institution in any meaningful sense. The Kaiserliche und Königliche Militärgeneralgouvernement in Warsaw created it to manage the monetary vacuum left after Russian withdrawal, replacing ruble-denominated notes with a controlled Polish-language emission that could be politically dressed as native currency while remaining firmly under German fiscal authority.
Printed in Warsaw under occupation conditions, the series circulated alongside German military marks with a fixed exchange rate that consistently favored the occupier. The serial number remains the sole printed security feature — a thin barrier against forgery for a note already operating in a thoroughly disrupted wartime economy.
