| Additional information |
Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński spent three years under house arrest — 1953 to 1956 — after refusing to collaborate with Poland's communist government in its campaign to subordinate the Catholic Church to state control. His beatification, originally scheduled for 1981 and blocked for decades by the same political forces he had resisted, finally took place in Warsaw on September 12, 2021. The coin was issued to coincide with that ceremony, which had itself been delayed a further year by the pandemic.
