10 Zlotys Municipality of Kraków

This piece is one entry in NBP's long-running series commemorating Polish cities, authorized under a broader cultural program that has produced dozens of municipal issues since the early 2000s. Kraków's particular claim here rests on its status as the royal capital of Poland from the early eleventh century until Sigismund III moved the court to Warsaw in 1596 — a relocation that remained politically contested for generations afterward.

Mintage for these municipal silver issues was typically capped at 65,000, keeping secondary market premiums modest but steady.
