Catalog description

This 2008 two-zloty coin commemorates the 90th anniversary of the outbreak of the Greater Poland Uprising, one of the most important Polish independence movements at the end of the First World War. It belongs to the Fourth Zloty and was issued as a circulating coin with a commemorative theme, allowing a historical subject to enter everyday commerce rather than remaining limited to a collector issue. It was struck in Nordic gold, a material associated with many modern Polish 2-zloty coins.

In 2008 the denomination had modest but genuine purchasing power and could cover a small everyday purchase, although its exact value varied with location and prices. The recorded mintage for this variant is 1,100,000 pieces, making it obtainable while still giving it interest as an anniversary keepsake and as an example of combining circulating money with historical education. Collectors may appreciate both its connection with the history of Greater Poland and its place in Poland’s early twenty-first-century series of anniversary issues.
