| Additional information |
This piece dates to the period when the Mint of Poland was beginning to develop its modern collector and bullion programs following the collapse of communist rule — the transition brought significant experimentation in proof and trial formats, and many issues from this window exist in very small, undocumented quantities. Trial strikes of this type were produced for internal approval purposes and were not released through normal distribution channels.
The papal denomination itself traces to John Paul II's 1991 visit to Poland, his fourth return to his homeland. It was the first such visit after the fall of the PZPR government.
