Comment
Date of issue 25-10-1988Interesting fact
The Józef Piłsudski coin was minted in 1988 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Piłsudski's birth. It was the first coin in Poland's history to feature a portrait of a person who was not a member of the royal family or a head of state. This was a significant departure from traditional coinage design and reflected the country's shift towards a more democratic and inclusive society.
