Poczta Polska issued a stamp on the 100th anniversary of the establishment of PKO Bank Polski
The outline of the Warsaw Rotunda appears on the occasional Poczta Polska stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of PKO Bank Polski.
The sketch of the Warsaw Rotunda, the most characteristic building of PKO Bank Polski and one of the symbols of the capital, was placed on the stamp by Karol Tyczyński, author of the graphic design of this issue. The stamp also has a bank logotype, prepared especially on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of its existence.
The stamp worth PLN 3.20 was broadcast in a circulation of 100,000. pieces. He went to circulation on February 7 this year. Exactly 100 years after the head of the state Józef Piłsudski, Prime Minister Ignacy Paderewski and minister of post and telegraphs Hubert Linde signed a decree on the creation of a postal saving cash register - the predecessor of PKO Bank Polski. The mission of the cash register was not only to provide Poles with banking services, but above all to organize a system of collecting savings necessary to rebuild the country after years of partitions and the destruction of the First World War.
PKO Bank Polski and Poczta Polska combine century -old cooperation and historical intimacy. It was in post offices, in the interwar period, that Poles could deposit and receive contributions from PKO savings books or contain life insurance.
PKO Bank Polski cooperates with Poczta Polska in many areas. The post office serves the bank, among others in the scope of setting courier letters and shipments, transport and protection of monetary values. On average, a month through it gives about 3.5 million letters. However, PKO Bank Polski runs Polish postal accounts. He is a shareholder of Bank Pocztowy with her. Together with Eservice, it allows you to pay by card in the network of Poczta Polska.
"The 100th anniversary of the PKO Bank Polski" is not the first stamp broadcast by Poczta Polska, whose topic was PKO. In 1961, a series was broadcast under the slogan "October Saving month".
There is a rotunda image on the stamp. The building was built in 1966. Located at the intersection of ul. Marszałkowska and al. Jerusalem, the building was built as a model of a modern bank branch. An innovative design on a circle throw, glazed with a characteristic roof, was called a "general hat". For over 50 years of existence, Rotunda has grown permanently into the city's life, becoming one of the symbols of the capital and favorite meetings of residents and tourists.
