Catalog description

This 2007 two-zloty coin belongs to Poland’s circulating thematic series “Historical Cities in Poland”, devoted to towns with important urban and historical heritage. This issue presents Racibórz, one of the oldest towns in Upper Silesia, whose history is connected with its location on the Oder and with the former Duchy of Racibórz. The coin retains the practical character of a circulating 2-zloty denomination while also serving as a small historical and educational memento.

It is struck in Nordic gold, a copper-based alloy widely used for Polish circulating coins with thematic reverse designs; the name of the alloy does not indicate any gold content. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, 2 zł represented a modest but useful amount for small everyday payments, although its purchasing power varied by year and locality. Collectors may value the issue for combining a specific Silesian city with the 2007 date and a recognizable national series, as well as for the opportunity to place it alongside the other cities in the series.
