Interesting fact

The 10 Zlotys (Jerzy Popiełuszko) 2009 coin from Poland is interesting because it features an image of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, a Polish Catholic priest and Solidarity chaplain who became a symbol of resistance against communism in Poland. He was arrested and murdered by the communist authorities in 1984, and was later declared a martyr and beatified by the Catholic Church. The coin was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his death.
