It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item or a symbol of value. The coin features an image of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, a Polish-born physicist and chemist who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, on one side, and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coin was issued in 1979 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Marie Skłodowska-Curie's birth.
