Vilnius 1924
This is a card sent on february 14th 1924 from Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania) to Warszawa. The beginning of 1924 was the peak of the hyperinflation as you can see with this 120,000 Polish Marka franking on this simple card for inland destination. The new currency "złoty" was introduced on april 29th and has ended this hyperinflation.
