The 2 Zlotys coin featuring the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a unique coin that was minted using a special process called "Nordic gold," which gives the coin a distinctive golden color. Nordic gold is an alloy of copper, silver, and zinc that is used to create a gold-like appearance without actually using gold. This process was used to create a limited number of commemorative coins for the 2003 edition, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
