Additional information

Poland's interwar monetary reform, finalized in 1924 under Władysław Grabski, stabilized the złoty after the catastrophic inflation that followed World War I and partition-era currency chaos. By 1927, the government was actively exploring coinage designs and alloys for circulating issues, and tombac — a copper-zinc alloy — was a standard proofing material for trial strikes precisely because its working properties differ enough from silver to expose die flaws before production commitments were made.

This piece was never approved for circulation. The woman-and-ears-of-grain type ultimately appeared in silver.
