The zloty then introduced lasted until the outbreak of the World War II. After the War, the degeneration of money within the socialist economy reduced the role of the zloty to that of a humble medium of day-to-day exchange. The rehabilitation of the national currency began in 1990. At no little cost, the zloty was restored to the position of a

Before the first coins known as "zloty" were used, they functioned as a unit of account used to determine the value of a property. Its value was established in the Statutes of Piotrkow in 1496 as 30 groszy. This was the time of geographical discoveries. From the New World, silver was brought, which was used to produce silver coins. Large quantities...
The first coins, which came to be known as zloty, appeared in Poland after the Swedish Deluge. The country was getting back on its feet after the devastating war and needed some sort of "loan". That is why silver coins worth 30 groszy started to be minted in 1663. In reality, the silver bullion content was much lower, and the real value was about 1...
The first Polish banknotes appeared in 1794, during the Kosciuszko Uprising after the Second Partition of Poland. The country plunged into war lacked money as well as bullion to mint coins. So it was decided to issue treasury tickets of a certain value, which would be exchanged for bullion after the uprising. Unfortunately, this promise was never f...
In the Second Republic of Poland, the Polish mark was the legal tender created before the end of World War I, in 1916, in the territories occupied by the Germans. It functioned only in the form of banknotes. Although there were plans to mint coins - even a few test designs were created, but eventually, they never entered into circulation. The medio...
Until 1950 in postwar Poland, only banknotes with denominations from 1 to 500 zloty were used. No coins were used. An unexpected reform came only on October 30, 1950. It was then that new banknotes and coins were introduced. This reform was kept secret almost to the last minute. An unfavourable exchange rate between old and new banknotes was set. S...
On January 1, 1995, the currency was denominated, and new banknotes were put into circulation in Poland. They functioned alongside the old ones until the end of 1996, which is why stores displayed two prices. One new zloty equaled 10,000 old ones. To quickly convert the value, four zeros had to be erased from the old price. In the new series of ban...
Abstract: The idea of developing a Historical Atlas of Poland (HAP) in the 16th century dates back to the end of the 19th century and the first General Congress of Polish Historians. However, the actual work on the project began after the Second World War. Since then generations of historians and cartographers have been working together on the ...
At the end of April 1924, the Bank of Poland began issuing the Zloty – only the banknotes – and minting was left to the government. The Zloty was a currency based on gold parity – its value was determined at 9/31 grams of pure gold. One dollar was equal to 5.18 Zloty, which at that time made the Polish currency equal to the Swiss franc.
The zloty corresponded in value to the gold ducat and to the silver thaler. Later, however, things got worse. The crisis of the state and the economy was accompanied by the decline of the currency. It was not until the end of the 18th century that the sound quality of the coin was restored. A monetary history of Poland after 1795 will be ...
