| "The word Miedziane,
which appears on the right hand side of the note, means copper. Or
something close to the word copper. In modern Polish, copper is 'Miedziak'." |

|
| "It's also interesting
to note the Polish eagle on the left of the note and the Lithuanian
symbol on the other. Perhaps it is somewhat symbolic that they are
split." -Andrew P. |

It's probable that the mention of copper
was a guarantee that the note could be redeemed in coin of that metal.
This was a common annotation to put right on the note.
-Thanks, Andrew for the translation and the note! |
