Visit the website of the National Bank of Poland for the information brochure on this banknote.


On the 600th anniversary of the birth of Jan Długosz, one of the most distinguished Medieval historians, Narodowy Bank Polski issued a collector banknote with the face value of 20 złotych. The banknote was put into circulation on 24 August 2015.

The banknote commemorating the 600th anniversary of the birth of Jan Długosz is the first banknote printed on paper that allows the use of laser engraving technology and the first to contain two-dimensional QR code made with the use of this technology. The use of 2D technology is a solution allowing to immediately obtain information about the subject matter of the banknote and its security features.
