The 2,000 złotych note is a formal banknote used in Poland, during the third banknote series, ordered in value after the 1,000 złotych note, starting production in 1977 until 1995. It features Mieszko I and the text "DWA TYSIĄCE ZŁOTYCH" ("TWO THOUSAND ZŁOTY" in English.) on the obverse, and on the reverse is Bolesław I Chrobry and the signature of Narodowy Bank Polski. The 2,000 złotych note was never reprinted.

History

edit

In 1977, Ryszard Kleczewski and Wacław Borowski designed the banknote, and it was put into circulation the same year. It was the tenth most valuable bill. Once a while, there would be a new president and chief treasurer of the N.B.P., and the signatures would obviously change. On 1st January 1995 the PLZ would become the PLN, the modern złoty of Poland.[1][2]
