1000 złotych note

The Polish 1,000 złoty note is a formal banknote used in Poland from 1794 to1996, but plans exist to revive this note to Polish currency, during the third banknote series. On the obverse, it features the text "1000 TYSIĄC ZŁOTYCH," (ONE THOUSAND ZŁOTY in English.) Along with some other common trzecia seria features, it shows Nicolaus Copernicus. On the reverse, it shows the solar system, representing Copernicus' heliocentric discovery that the sun is at the center; it also shows a solar system symbol.
