6% Gold Tax Voucher
Series ID, issue date 15.06.1923, PLN 10.
Gold Treasury bills are among rare securities. In their case, each series has a different issue date. The most common (though still rare papers, which are not in constant supply and must be searched for) are Series IA vouchers with an issue date of 1.04.1923. All other series (IB, IC and ID) are very rare, known from the scant number of surviving pieces. The general rule for series I, denominated at 10 zlotys - the higher the letter of the gold voucher series, the higher the rarity.
The ID series is the rarest of all gold treasury bills.
Only 2 pieces of 10 zloty sections of this series are known.
Highly recommended - the rarity of this series of this denomination analogous to the tax voucher!
format_quote. Short-term debt securities, especially gold treasury bills, are documents to which I have a special fondness and from which my serious interest and involvement in the subject of historical securities began a dozen years ago. When preparing and putting into print in 2019 my first catalog "Short-term debt securities from the Polish lands", item 8.1 - 6% gold treasury bill Series ID, 10 zloty, date of issue 15.06.1923 - was unknown to me from any piece. In the following years, while preparing the next catalogs of securities, I had the opportunity to review and familiarize myself with most of the collections of debt securities in Poland, both privately and with the stock accumulated in museums. An extensive search led to the inventory of 2 pieces of 6% gold treasury bills Series ID, value 10 zlotys, date of issue 15.06.1923. Among them, one piece (No. D 134733) - which is now the subject of this auction, is in private hands. The other piece found (No. D 160194) is in the collection of the Prof. Stanislaw Fischer Museum in Bochnia (which means that, as being in the public domain, it does not appear in collectors' circulation). So, from the point of view of a collector of historical securities, we are dealing here with a unique (in terms of availability on the collector's market) paperformat_quote
