Lot description
Grade: VG-FA
Reference: Falsyfikat typu Miłczak 49b

Circulation-era forgery not caught in the era.

With respect to the piece offered the item earlier, the color subprint is more faithfully rendered on this one. Less bright pink, though still too strong. Other than that, the same workshop as the previous one is well visible. Same type of numerator, exaggerated portrait, etc.

Also this one with numerous folds and scraped paper in the margins, though by the penetrated dirt and rubbing that would naturally appear in circulation. According to Jakub Zalewski's theory, these destructions are probably the result of deliberate aging of the produced forgeries by forgers, even before canning them into circulation. Following this line of thought, one could say that "pieces in issue condition", although technically st.5-6.

An interesting witness of the era confirming the fact of counterfeiting of the first Polish zloty issue after independence, which largely contributed to its rapid withdrawal and replacement with banknotes of a new design, or coins in the case of lower denominations.
