Interesting fact

The 2 Zlotys coin featuring Józef Piłsudski, which was minted between 1934 and 1936, was the first coin of the Second Polish Republic to feature a portrait of a historical figure. This was a departure from the previous coins of the country, which had featured symbols and allegorical figures. The decision to feature Piłsudski, who was a prominent leader in Poland's fight for independence, was seen as a way to honor his legacy and highlight the country's newfound independence.
