Poland assumed the rotating presidency of the EU Council in July 2011 — the country's first time holding the position since accession in 2004. The NBP issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program tied to that presidency, a practice the bank has maintained for significant constitutional and diplomatic milestones. Mintage was capped at 7,000 pieces, modest even by Polish commemorative standards.
