I have a 1000 Marek (Mark) note with the date: Warszawa, Dnia 23, sierpnia 1919 roku (August 23, 1919). I have no idea as to how many Zlotych made a Marek. All of my attempts at resolving this have been in vain. If you are curious as to what a Marek note looked like, I can scan the one that I have and send you a .JPG. The note is quite large, measuring 21.35 cm by 13.6 cm (8 3/8" x 5 3/8").
