2007 Poland 20 Groszy

This is one of the last years that accurate mintage numbers were given for 20 groszy coins. Since 2008 no productions figures have been officially released. Still the ease of finding them suggests the are common.

This one had a fairly large production and by all indications they kept making them in high numbers the years since. Polish coins can dip to low amounts but they generally still have little premium value.

2013 Poland 5 Groszy, Brass

There are two versions of this coin. This is the sold brass version with the older design. The new version is brass plated steel and has a smaller crest and a few lines.

You may have noticed starting in 2012 the old standard metals of copper-nickel or brass were being phased out. Plated steel versions are now common and do not be surprised if steel prices skyrocket and plastic coins replace them.

2012 Poland 20 Groszy

RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA is Polish for the Poland Repbulic, although I often see the coin and think it is Czechoslovakian. It has that thin bird and simple wreath designs so it look like a lot of Easten European coins.

I do like the MW mint mark under the eagle's right claw. It looks like a bird flying over a crown. Overall a simple design but also traditional.

Third Polish coin I found this year which is more than normal. I do not see a trend even as trade with the U.S. is increasing since Russian sanctions begins to slow down Poland's economy. It is still to soon to show that more Polish tourists are visiting but I am sure less Russians are taking that trip.

2009 Poland 20 Groszy

Got this one as a dime in my change and its only been three months since I last found a Polish coin. If I payed attention more to world events maybe I would see a pattern. I have heard little about Poland but I know there coins are still not Euros.

A simple copper-nickel coin that is common despite any reliable data about mintage. It can pass as a dime since it is made of the same material. I expect to see more Polish coins in my change even though I am not sure why.

1992 Poland 5 Groszy

First Polish change find in almost a decade. I often confuse it with a Russian coin because of the stylized eagle. It also has RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA which is Republic of Poland and there is a small MW mint mark from the Warsaw mint under the bird's right foot.

The other side has 5 Groszy which is the denomination and 5 oak leaves. If this was a 2 Groszy it would have 2 oak leaves. The number of oak leaves are the same as the denomination for all modern Polish coins from 1-10 groszy.

Until Poland gets the Euro in 2019, if all goes well, I do not think I will get another coin from Poland anytime soon but at least it keeps me searching. When Polish euros are made they will circulate as easy as other euros.

Year: 1992
Mintage: 103,784,000

1992 Poland Zloty

Have a Poland coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

As the Euro falls the Zloty rises. It is a relationship that has been going on for years. Poland is very independent when it comes to finance thanks to a long history of not being in control.

RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA and that stylized eagle are on the obverse. The reverse has 1 ZŁOTY in a wreath. The edge is segmented with reeding and blank spaces, although the blank space seems to be a weekly reeded.

I have two of these and use to get more in my change but the last decade has not been good for Polish finds. I can only guess the Euro is more popular even in non-Euro countries. It is projected by some that Poland may be using euros by 2019. Which is actually not that far away.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Zloty / Poland
Year: 1992
Mintage: 102,240,000
Metal: Copper-Nickel
Value: $0.80 in XF ($0.31 in exchange value)


Beside this vault coin I did find a 1956-D wheat cent but that has been featured before so as usual I will skip it.
