Historical Context: The 2023 10 Zlotys coin (Y#1158) is issued by the Republic of Poland in its contemporary democratic era. This commemorative piece forms part of the "100th Anniversary of the Polish Zloty" series, a significant celebration marking a century since the establishment of the modern Polish currency after the nation regained independence. The "Polish Family" theme emphasizes the Zloty's integral role in Polish households, symbolizing national resilience and continuity across generations.
Artistry: Artistically, this coin adheres to a modern, representational stylistic school, characteristic of contemporary commemorative issues from the National Bank of Poland. While the specific engraver is often credited, the design typically features a poignant depiction of a Polish family, perhaps parents and children, symbolizing enduring values of family, tradition, and the intergenerational transfer of heritage. The obverse usually displays the national emblem and denomination, executed with precision.
Technical/Grading: Struck in .925 fine silver (14.14 grams, 32.00 mm), the technical qualities of this issue are generally superb. Key high-points for grading include intricate details of facial features, hair, and any fine drapery on the figures, which are prone to showing the earliest signs of wear or strike weakness. Collectors should seek examples exhibiting a full, crisp strike, often characterized by frosted devices against mirror-like fields if issued in proof, ensuring all design elements are sharply defined.
