Polish National Loan Bank

The Polish National Loan Bank (Polish: Polska Krajowa Kasa Pożyczkowa, German: Polnische Landes-Darlehnskasse) was a bank of issue created in late 1916 by Germany's Ober Ost for the puppet Kingdom of Poland. The Second Polish Republic initially maintained it as a state-owned entity, and expanded its territorial scope to the country's entire territory. The bank, however, was unable to prevent hyperinflation, and was replaced in 1924 with a new national institution, Bank Polski SA.
