WW2 Warsaw Uprising – Polish Banknote with the “Brotherhood in Arms” Stamp

A very interesting and rare 2 złoty banknote from the August 1, 1941 issue, series AG, with serial number 7101206. The banknote features a black ink stamp on the reverse that reads: PW / BROTHERHOOD / IN ARMS / ENGLAND / AMERICA / POLAND / LONG LIVE.

Visible paper damage is present, and this is a very rare item described in the Lucow catalog as 980 (R5).

Such banknotes were intended to serve as mementos for soldiers who participated in the uprising. This type of stamp, along with three others, was found on used banknotes, usually in denominations of 10, 20, 50, and 100 złotych, and much more rarely in denominations of 1, 2, 5, and 500 złotych.
