Catalog description

This 2 Zlotys coin was issued in 2006 as part of the “Historical Cities in Poland” series, which features Bochnia. It belongs to the modern Fourth Zloty introduced in 1995 and retained a practical monetary function, being intended for ordinary circulation rather than exclusively for collector sets. Its Nordic gold composition and 27 mm diameter reflect the characteristic format used for Polish circulating commemorative coins of this denomination.

The issue recalls Bochnia as one of Lesser Poland’s important historic centres, best known for its centuries-old salt-mining tradition. In 2006, 2 zlotys still had useful everyday purchasing power, although its value varied by place and type of purchase; it represented a modest fraction of an ordinary day’s wages rather than the cost of a substantial acquisition. Collectors may appreciate the way this accessible circulation coin combines a local historical subject with membership in a clearly defined series devoted to Poland’s historic towns.
