Coins, banknotes and medals in the collections of the Numismatic Cabinet of the Rev. Dr Władysław Łęga Museum in Grudziądz have for many decades remained an unexplored subject in the scientific literature. Among all items, it is the collection of paper money that occupies a significant, yet underestimated place. In the group of banknotes, the paper token money are the most numerous. This problem has not been very popular in Poland for many decades. It was not until the turn of the 20th and 21st c. that a new approach to this subject has been undertaken. Only recently the substitute media of exchange, used as regular money, have been appreciated by researchers and have become the main theme of numismatic catalogues and museum exhibitions. This sketch is intended to be a contribution to a wide field of research on the numismatic collections of the Grudziądz Museum; hence, it is focused on the token money from Kuyavia and Pomerania. It is a continuation of the already undertaken studies. Additionally, the topic coincides with the celebration of the centenary of the return of these areas to the reborn Polish state. The token money in Pomerania and Kuyavia stored in the Grudziądz Museum were issued by the local self-governments of 24 towns and/or counties as well as military commands of three prisoner-of-war camps for soldiers of the Entente. They date back to almost ten-year period of disturbances of money circulation in Europe (1914–1924).
