Catalog description

The 2011 2-zloty coin belongs to Poland’s series of circulating commemorative coins dedicated to notable figures from the country’s history. Its subject is Ignacy Jan Paderewski, a world-renowned pianist and composer who was also a politician and one of the leading representatives of the reborn Polish state after the First World War. By combining a historical figure with the Polish eagle and a modern denomination, the coin unites a practical monetary function with a popular form of historical education.

Struck in Nordic gold, the round coin weighs 8.15 g and measures 27 mm in diameter; it was intended for ordinary circulation rather than exclusively for collectors. In 2011, two zlotys represented a small but useful everyday sum, although purchasing power naturally varied according to location and the type of purchase. The recorded mintage for this year is 800,000 pieces, making it an appealing example of modern Polish circulating money with a historical theme. Collectors may value the combination of Paderewski’s instantly recognisable name, the distinctive Nordic-gold alloy, and the coin’s place within a broader series celebrating Poland’s national heritage.
