PWPW periodically issues non-monetary test notes for trade exhibitions and security feature demonstrations — this butterfly-themed piece from 2010 was produced specifically to showcase hologram integration on a hybrid substrate, not to serve any circulating currency function. The engraving by Jan Maciej Kopecki is worth noting: intaglio engraving on a demonstration piece suggests PWPW was testing the compatibility of traditional plate printing with the newer substrate material.
These notes were never intended for public distribution and typically surface through direct trade contacts or collector acquisition at security printing industry events. Agnieszka Próchniak is credited as designer — her name appears on several PWPW promotional and test issues from this period.
