Additional information

The Franciscan monastery in Poznań traces its founding to 1244, making it one of the earliest Franciscan establishments in Polish territory — the order had arrived in Poland barely two decades prior. The Poznań house survived Swedish occupation, Prussian annexation, and two world wars, though the complex suffered considerable structural damage during the Soviet assault on the city in early 1945.

This piece belongs to Poland's long-running Nordic gold "Historic Towns" series, which launched in 2005 and eventually numbered well over a hundred types.
