| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in purple on a pale green guilloche underprint, with a simpler but bold composition centred on the large denomination text 'PIĘĆ ZŁOTYCH' within an interlaced guilloche panel. The issuer's name 'NARODOWY BANK POLSKI' runs in a curved banner along the top, while ornamental numeral '5' devices occupy the upper corners. Acanthus-leaf scrollwork fills the lower corners, and the date '1944' appears within the central vignette below the denomination. A legal warning against counterfeiting is enclosed in a rectangular cartouche at the base. |
