Bank Polski (the Bank of Poland) is the name of two former banks in Poland, each of which acted as a central bank. The first was founded by Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki in 1828 in Congress Poland and functioned until 1885, when it was absorbed by the State Bank of the Russian Empire.
The second was founded in 1924 in the Second Polish Republic by Władysław Grabski and was liquidated in 1952.
Their legacy is continued by Poland's present central bank, the Polish National Bank, founded in 1945.
