Some nice ones there. The 5 zł coin with the big digit I like, and some of the commems too. The eagle is interesting for more than one reason: First, between WW2 and 1989 it had no crown - which to me made sense as Poland was not a monarchy then. After the end of the "People's Republic" however the crown was back. Found that strange but then I noticed that it had been there before even in earlier republican times. So maybe the Polish eagle has some kind of mural crown.

Also, the eagle on the Jagiello University coin is "different". Here in Germany that is done on coins, apart from a few "basics", all the time. On coins from Poland however the eagle usually is precisely the one used in the coat of arms. Not in this case ...

You right, Sir. All eagles differ from each other.
