Catalog description

This 2009 two-zloty coin belongs to a circulating series commemorating the history of Polish cavalry. Its subject is a seventeenth-century winged cavalryman, a distinctive symbol of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and one of the most recognisable formations in Polish military tradition. The image combines the practical role of a circulating coin with the promotion of national history, allowing the issue to pass both through everyday transactions and into collections.

The coin has a face value of 2 zlotys and remains legal tender within the Fourth Zloty currency system. In 2009, this was a small but noticeable sum for minor everyday purchases, although its purchasing power naturally varied by location and economic circumstances. Its Nordic gold alloy, used for a number of modern circulation coins, gives the piece a golden appearance without containing precious gold. Collectors may particularly appreciate the combination of an ordinary circulating denomination with a historical representation of the hussar and its place in a thematic series devoted to the history of Polish cavalry.
