[QUOTE="silvereagle82, post: 452526, member: 1700"]From my notes: Commemorative celebrating the 900th anniversary of the Coronation of King Boleslaw Chrobry; Poland's first King. Dated 1925 but struck in 1926 at the Warsaw mint. Though this coin is not considered a pattern it is debated whether it should be considered a “circulation” strike. These coins did not, in fact, circulate in interwar Poland, unless some reached circulation by error. The Polish government did not release these coins into circulation.
