Date of issue 08-04-2010Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, a tragic event in which thousands of Polish officers and intelligentsia were killed by the Soviet Union's secret police. The coin's design features a symbolic image of a broken tree, representing the lives lost during the massacre, and the inscription "Katyń 1940" in bold letters. The use of Nordic gold, a durable and resistant alloy, symbolizes the resilience and strength of the Polish people in the face of adversity.
