The zloty's centenary being marked in 2019 traces back to the monetary reforms of 1924, when Władysław Grabski's government replaced the devastated Polish mark — rendered worthless by postwar hyperinflation — with a stabilized zloty pegged to gold. Grabski achieved this without foreign loans, an almost singular feat in interwar European monetary history.
The 2 Grosze denomination in sterling silver is a deliberate inversion: the actual circulating 2 Grosze piece is aluminum, worth virtually nothing. Striking it in .925 silver is the point.
