| Additional information |
Przemysław II holds a specific place in Polish historical memory: he was the first ruler to unite the fragmented Polish kingdom and be crowned King of Poland in 1295, ending a period of division stretching back to 1138. He was assassinated the following year, likely on the orders of the Margraves of Brandenburg, making his reign a matter of months. The 1985 issue falls within a broader Polish People's Republic commemorative program that leaned heavily on medieval dynastic subjects — a pointed, if quietly nationalist, use of state coinage under a communist government aligned with Moscow.
