Here we have a very well used 5 Marek Polish Mark) note issued in poland in 1919. This was the 3rd issue of that year. During and after the second world war Poland was administered by Austria and there were 4 currencies in circulation in Poland but none of them Polish, in 1917 they issued their own currency linked to the German mark but with the war and armed struggles after the polish currency failed and inflation went through the roof.
The note above was issued at the start of the hype inflation.the 1922-23 issue starts at 10000 marek as the lowest note.
This note has Tadeusz Kosciuszko , a military leader from the late 1700's and early 1800's on the front right of the note
