By 1990, the 1 Złoty note was an anachronism in active circulation — hyperinflation had so thoroughly eroded purchasing power that the denomination was essentially worthless in real terms. Poland was issuing notes of 500,000 and 1,000,000 Złotych that same period. This note belongs to the twilight of the communist-era monetary system, printed and released just before the 1995 redenomination that replaced 10,000 old Złotych with 1 new Złoty, wiping denominations like this from practical use entirely.
