Arrived today Polish 10 Zloty

Here's the Polish 10 Zlotych I was asking advice on last week. The pics are hurried as I'm off to work. The coin is not as dark as the pics would indicate, but they will give you some idea as to the detail. If you remember he stated he thought it was unc. But I don't think so. Still a nice coin though. Opinion more than welcome.

By the way, the spots and fuzz on 53jpg are not on the coin, but on the cello 2x2

    That is a great design on that coin. I should have bid more on DH's when he had it up for auction.

  • The last pic was the 10z piece I sold to Askari, the image shown has been tweaked, repaired and fixed up significantly.
  • She is a beauty and my favorite of all the polish coins. (the ships are fun too tho) Mongoose was kind enough to send me the history on her. She led a very interesting life. My only wish was that is was in gold. I think its time to dump my grumpy old man icon and replace him with a beautiful Polish maiden.image
  • get it in gold first!! image

  • To my knowledge she was not made in Gold. Her name was Dubrava in Polish and led quite an extrodinary tale of life. Most Polish coins from ancestors were silver, nickel, bronze, copper and aluminum. However, if I ever find the Gold Madonna, I will scoop her up immediately. The Poles did not have the accessability to gold as did richer nations. Mongoose sent me a wonderful link and gave me lots of history on this brave maiden. She was a true heroine of the Polish People.image
