Catalog description

This 2-zloty coin belongs to Poland’s Fourth Zloty monetary system, established in 1995, and bears the year 2010. Its subject links the issue with the Polish team at the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. In this way, an ordinary circulating denomination carries a sporting and commemorative theme connected with Poland’s participation in a major international event. The variant is 27 mm in diameter, weighs 8.15 g, and is made of the material known as Nordic gold.

Nordic gold is not gold but a copper-based alloy used for modern coinage, valued for its distinctive color and practical durability. The marking recorded for the issue is “2010 MW”, while the coin is identified as a round standard-circulation variant. In the Poland of 2010, 2 zł represented a small everyday sum, although its purchasing power naturally varied according to the place and the kind of purchase. Collectors may find the piece appealing as part of a thematic Olympic series and as an example of how circulating money can preserve a contemporary sporting reference.
