The Polish 1 złoty note and the 1 złoty coin are coins/banknotes that are equivalent to 1 złoty. 1 złoty is equivalent to 0.26 U.S. dollars. They both popped into existence in 1919, when the second złotych series was introduced.
1 złoty note[edit]
The 1 złoty note was a former banknote of Polish currency, starting production in 28 February 1919, (along with the 2 złote note.) became official in 1924, and ended production in 31 January 1940. (along with the other 1919 banknotes.)
Obverse[edit]
On the left features a portrait of Tadeusz Kościuszko and the serial number below, and to the top right features the text "BANK POLSKI," ("POLISH BANK" in English.) and the other text "JEDEN ZŁOTY." ("ONE ZŁOTY" in English.) Below is the place and date of the banknote, and the signature of the head of the bank. Each corner has the number 1 displayed. (same on the back.)
Reverse[edit]
On the left features a giant 1 and the text złoty on the left, on top and below are sidenotes of the note being legal tender across the Second Polish Republic. Specifically the top says "NA MOCY UCHWAŁY SEJMOWEJ BILETY BANKU POLSKIEGO SĄ PRAWNYM ŚRODKIEM PŁATNICZYM W POLSCE," ("PURSUANT TO A RESOLUTION OF THE SEJM THE POLISH BANK BILLS ARE LEGAL TENDER IN POLAND" in English.) and the bottom says ""PODRABIANIE BILETÓW UWSPÓŁDZIAŁNIE W ICH ROZPOWSZECHMANIU KARANE JEST CIĘŻKIEM WIĘZIENIEM." ("COUNTERFEITING BILLS AND COOPERATING IN THEIR DISTRIBUTION IS PUNISHABLE BY HEAVY IMPRISONMENT" in English.) To the right is a giant 1900-Polish eagle with a crown.
1 złoty coin[edit]
The 1 złoty coin is a Polish złoty coin after the 50 groszy coin and before the 2 złote coin. It started production in 1929 and ended in 1939, and came back on 1 January 1999 during the reform of the złoty. Back then in 1929, the 1 złoty coin was the highest monetary valued coin of Poland. On the obverse it features the Polish eagle and the text rzeczpospolita polska and the date, and on the reverse it shows the text 1 złoty and some leaves.
The modern design has the same obverse design just smaller writing, and on the reverse shows a bolder 1 and an entire set of leaves wrapped around.
