- Info Anonymous creator, historical Polish official treasury note from the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution, scan by Godot13 - uploaded by Godot13 - nominated by Maire -- Maire (talk) 10:53, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Polish "Bilet Skarbowy" (treasury note) - 5-zloty, dated 8 June 1794. This note is from the first issue of banknotes by the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and was authorized by Tadeusz Kościuszko. The file is already a FP at en-wiki and a part of a valued set here. To anticipate certain doubts - the cut-off top is actually a feature. As an anti-counterfeiting measure, in those times the top margin was cut off and kept together with the serial number of the note, so that by comparing them later to the rest of the note it could be determined if the note was genuine or not.
