Piotr Blanc

Piotor Blanc was Polish financier and the court banker under King Stanisław August Poniatowski (r. 1764 – 1795). In partnership with the bankers Dekert and Raffalowitsh he formed the tobacco monopoly in 1776 and the government lottery in 1781. In 1790 he was raised to the nobility, and in the following year became the owner of a palace near Senatorska Street, Warsaw. In 1792 Blanc and his influential friends guaranteed the payment of five million rubles, which the Jews of Poland pledged themselves to contribute, instead of the usual taxes, for the amortization of the king's debts.

Piotor Blanc died at Warsaw in 1797.
