Collector insights
- Design heritage: Robert Kotowicz, Anna Wątróbska-Wdowiarska is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
- Struck at: Mint of Poland (Mennica Polska), Warsaw, Poland (mintmark
mw). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels. - Low mintage: Only 600 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Gold issue: Gold (9999) — bullion demand competes with numismatic demand. Weight and fineness (not just face value) drive the melt-value floor.
- Catalogue reference: Listed as
Y# 1125. Use this reference code when cross-checking auction archives, dealer inventories, and standard printed catalogues.
