Catalog description

This 2006 two-zloty coin belongs to Poland’s series devoted to historic cities and presents Żagań, an important town with a long history in Lower Silesia. It forms part of the Fourth Zloty system introduced after the 1995 currency reform, when the zloty received its modern monetary structure and presentation. The Nordic gold alloy gives the piece its characteristic golden tone, while its larger format than that of the circulating one-zloty coins makes the denomination easy to recognize.

The coin retained legal-tender status, although its historical subject also makes it appealing to collectors of Polish circulating issues. In 2006, two zlotys represented the purchasing power of a small everyday purchase or a modest fraction of the cost of basic goods, with the actual value varying according to place and type of expenditure. The 2006 issue is notable for combining the practical function of money with a local Żagań theme and for the relatively limited recorded production of this variant, stated as 1,100,000 pieces.
