Comment
Date of issue 01-07-1959Interesting fact
The 10 Złoty coin featuring Tadeusz Kościuszko, which was in circulation from 1959 to 1966, was the first coin in Poland to feature a historical figure rather than a political leader or symbol. This was a departure from the traditional design of coins in Poland, which had previously featured images of rulers or national symbols. The choice of Tadeusz Kościuszko, a national hero who played a key role in Poland's struggle for independence, was seen as a way to promote Polish history and culture through the country's currency.
