What was happening
Marks of the Polska Krajowa Kasa Pożyczkowa, the bank founded under German occupation in 1916 and inherited by independent Poland in 1918.
A new state with no monetary history of its own reached for its national portraits — Kościuszko above all — and printed marks until inflation forced the 1924 reform that created the złoty. These are the money of the first six years of Polish independence.
