This trial strike belongs to the design competition process that preceded the 1964 circulation issue — the Warsaw Mint produced pattern and probe pieces in multiple compositions to allow state authorities to evaluate striking quality and surface appearance before committing to a production alloy. Copper-nickel was ultimately selected for the circulation type, making this particular probe somewhat unusual in that it matches the final production composition rather than representing a rejected alternative.
The Fischer and ParM catalog cross-references place it firmly within the documented Polish probe series, though surviving examples rarely surface in trade.
