A very nice piece. Interesting minting error in the form of a twist very rare for 20-carat coins.
Issue minted on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of the coronation of the first King of Poland.
The denomination introduced by the reform of January 11, 1924. The coin was minted according to the design won in the second competition by Zofia Trzcińska-Kamińska - the author of the design used to mint the 1933 10 zloty with Traugutt. The issue was based on a decree of the Minister of Treasury of June 14, 1926. Interestingly, gold coins could also be issued from private gold, which was not included in official reports. Therefore, the coins come in different color varieties depending on the type of gold from which they were minted.
