The new 500 Zlotys note is not only new for its design, but also for its amount, since to date there were no notes of denominations over 200 Zlotys.

This new denomination is manufactured to facilitate the cash payments of individuals and companies and to reduce costs of storage of money. The National Bank of Poland has been studying cash operations and has heard demand from users of larger notes. To give you an idea, 500 Zloty are equivalent to about 130 Euros.

 

Design of the new note

This new note belongs to the series "Polish rulers". On the obverse of the ticket appears the image of John III Sobieski in his coronation, in Century XVII. Next to the image of the King appears the coat of arms of his family and a helmet with iridescent painting. On the back, the Wilanów Palace appears next to the shield eagle of Poland.

The security measures of this note are the same as the 200 Zloty one. The National Bank of Poland has developed a new website to offer all the information about this new note: Narodowy Bank Polski

Zloty banknotes are divided into 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 zlotys. In 2014 the Polish National Bank renewed the design of banknotes of 10, 20, 50 and 100 zlotys and, for the moment, both editions are legal tender.
