A coin with well-preserved details, with subtle rubbing of the top lots. Formerly incompetently cleaned.
The denomination introduced by the reform of January 11, 1924 minted in this pattern since 1934 (introduced into circulation on the marshal's 67th birthday). According to the Presidential Decree of August 27, 1932, these coins could be used to pay off debts up to a maximum of 1,000 zlotys. The coin remained in circulation until November 1939, withdrawn by GG decree.
