Description

Beautiful Poland's 500 zl (PLN) Banknote with King Jan III Sobieski.
Authentic, Original, Legal and Awarded The best banknote and the most counterfeit-proof banknotes in the world in 2017.
The bill features the king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Jan III Sobieski (1626 - 1696), military genius, who is the most famous for the Battle of Vienna, which took place on 11/12 September 1683. When he led the allied European armies with his legendary Winged Hussars to enormously defeat the Turkish and turned the Ottoman Tide, saving Christian Europe from seemingly inevitable Islamic conquest. Sobieski attack was the largest cavalry charge in history. For the next 300 years Islam would be overshadowed by the growth of the Western Christian societies.
Some believe (i.e. Lawrence Wright in his book "Looming Tower") that terrorists chose 9/11 date for their attack on the US in relation with the Vienna defeat.
Like Hevelius named one of star constellation after Sobieski and heavy metal band Sabaton wrote a song about the battle in its "Winged Hussars", Poland decided to remind one of its greatest kings in its best and currently highest banknote.

The new denomination is to ensure the uninterrupted circulation of cash within the country, due in part to the growing demand for high value notes within Poland. The Bank also anticipates that the new note will help to reduce costs related to issuing currency.
