| Additional information |
Poland's postwar industrialization program made Gdynia — developed almost from scratch after 1918 as the country's answer to Danzig's uncertain political status — a natural subject for commemorative coinage. This trial strike belongs to a pattern series produced by Mennica Polska in the early 1970s as the mint explored design and compositional options before committing to circulation issues. The "empty land" designation refers to the absence of the sea or port infrastructure in the field, distinguishing it from companion trial variants and making direct comparison between striking stages possible.
