| Comments |
Wejherowo had been part of the German Empire until early 1920, when the Treaty of Versailles transferred the region to the newly reconstituted Polish state. This note was issued by the local district office in the immediate aftermath of that transition — a period when Polish national currency had not yet reached the western territories reliably, and local authorities across Pomerania improvised with emergency paper to keep commerce moving.
District-level issues from this specific transitional window are among the more historically loaded of all Polish local emergency notes, precisely because the political change and the monetary vacuum arrived simultaneously.
