Just got this today. I happened across one and thought it was a nice looking coin with great history, so here it is!
Nice find! Being a Polish member, I couldn't resist weighing in As there is no arrow between the talons of the eagle, this is a London (Royal Mint) strike. Your example has a nice obverse for the type, but unfortunately has been harshly cleaned at some point in its life. Its a first year type, and will remain a popular, silver Crown-size coin - hard to go wrong!
All coinage of the RPII is better in hand - because there were some keen numismatists in key positions at the mint during this period. They loved their coins, and they made sure that Second Republic coinage was interesting and beautiful for collectors - very much a matter of right people, right time
@Mkm5 And believe it or not, the RM strikes are considered the lesser of the two - these were struck for business purposes, but the Warsaw Mint strikes also bore political connotations (nothing sinister, just that all output from the domestic mint was also a patriotic endeavor). That is why I noted that the obverse detail was actually pretty good for this RM issue.
Interesting, are the Warsaw's identified by the arrows you mentioned earlier? I'd like to find one of those!
The Polish strikes are not a tough ask... you just have to keep your eyes peeled This is considered as the (Sovereign size) Polish St. Gaudens Double Eagle - in terms of beauty in a gold coin design. I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but especially owing to the fact that most were struck proof-like, I find the 1925 20zl more appealing... maybe just me https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/poland-20-złotych-y-33-cuid-1088138-duid-1526632
All kidding aside, she was quite an amazing King! Her legacy of patriotism, kindness, and generosity is inspiring.
Nice coin. One of my first coins was given to me by my grandmother, a 2 Zlote "Queen Jadwiga". My grandmother was born in Poland in 1902. Here is my 10 Zloty.
