Inference C1122

The 1924 złoty replaced the Polish mark. Its association with the modern złoty profile compresses later wartime and postwar stages and remains qualified.

Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V22-020. Direct account-obligation conversion establishes1924edge; laterwar/postwar continuity is a separate profilequestion. Replacement evidence: C1639.
