<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2354463, member: 39&quot;]Some nice ones there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; 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 &quot;People&#039;s Republic&quot; 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.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the eagle on the Jagiello University coin is &quot;different&quot;. Here in Germany that is done on coins, apart from a few &quot;basics&quot;, 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 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
