Catalog description

This 2006 two-zloty coin belongs to Poland’s Fourth Zloty and to the “Historical Cities in Poland” series dedicated to Legnica. It has the standard round format of a circulating issue and is struck in Nordic gold, the golden-coloured alloy used in Poland for selected higher-value grosz and two-zloty coins. Its face value was 2 zlotys, and the issue consisted of 1,100,000 pieces.

The design combines the familiar elements of a Polish circulating coin with a motif connected with Legnica, giving the piece the character of both money and a small historical and topographical souvenir. The city name “LEGNICA” is an especially useful identifying feature, linking the coin to the correct subject within the series. In 2006, two zlotys were primarily a practical denomination for everyday payments, although their purchasing power naturally varied according to place and type of purchase. The coin is now of interest to collectors of Polish circulating issues as well as to those assembling the series devoted to Poland’s historic cities.
