| Additional information |
Poland's ongoing "Polish Cities and Regions" Nordic gold series, of which this Łódź voivodeship piece is part, was launched in 1995 and eventually ran to hundreds of types — making it one of the most ambitious regional commemorative programs undertaken by any European central bank in the post-communist period. Łódź itself built its industrial identity almost entirely on textile manufacturing through the 19th century, drawing migrant labor from across partitioned Poland under Russian rule, which gave the city an unusually mixed Polish, Jewish, and German population before the Second World War reduced that entirely.
