Comments

The P#143 series had an unusually long print run, spanning over a decade with multiple date variants — the 1975, 1976, 1979, 1982, 1984, 1986, and 1988 issues all share the same basic design but differ in signature combinations reflecting successive NBP management changes. Collectors tracking the full set need seven distinct dated issues minimum.

By the late 1980s, chronic inflation was already eroding the 100 złoty note's practical value — what had been a meaningful denomination in 1975 could barely buy a loaf of bread by 1988. The hyperinflation that followed rendered the entire series obsolete within a few years of the final print run.
