Overview

Historical significance

This coin was minted during the early years of the People's Republic of Poland (PRL) following the end of World War II. It represents the post-war monetary reform and the transition to a socialist economy. Aluminum was chosen for lower denominations due to its light weight and low cost during the reconstruction era.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $2.00 USD (Commonly found in circulated condition; value depends on the specific mint year and state of preservation).

Care & preservation

Do not clean with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as aluminum is a soft metal prone to scratching and surface damage. Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free coin holder or flip to prevent further oxidation or 'zinc pest' like corrosion.
