The Polish 10-złoty note is the lowest value złoty banknote and has been used since the redenomination of the złoty in 1995. The note is used as the sole currency in Poland, a country with a population of about 38 million.
It is the smallest note, measuring 120×60mm with a dark brown and green colour scheme. The ten-złoty note features a portrait of Duke Mieszko I in the obverse centre area, while the reverse depicts a denar, a silver coin from Mieszko I's reign. The banknote is protected with multiple security features, like watermarks and microprinting, which document its authenticity.
The ten-złoty note has been used since 1794, along with the rest of the first złoty banknotes, although there were some temporary discontinuations in its usage.
