Trial strikes from Poland's early post-communist period are among the least documented issues in the entire NBP catalog. The 1993 program of high-denomination zloty trials preceded the 1995 redenomination, which replaced 10,000 old złotych with a single new złoty — rendering the 200,000 denomination obsolete almost immediately after these pieces were produced. Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk, who reigned 1447–1492, was a recurring choice for commemorative and prestige issues during this transitional decade.
The nickel composition distinguishes this from the bullion and bimetallic pieces in the same series.
