Interesting fact

The 10 Zlotys coin commemorating the Anniversary of Provincial Annexations in 1970 was the first circulating commemorative coin issued by Poland. It was introduced to honor the 25th anniversary of the annexation of the Western Territories to Poland, which took place after World War II. The coin features an image of the Polish coat of arms on one side and a map of Poland on the other, highlighting the annexed territories. This coin was a significant event in the history of Polish numismatics, as it marked the beginning of a long series of commemorative coins that have been issued by Poland ever since.
