Additional information

Poland's commemorative program of the mid-1970s operated under the ideological direction of the PZPR, and anniversary issues marking the defeat of Nazi Germany were politically mandatory rather than collector-driven. Trial strikes — próby — from this period were produced in deliberately small quantities for internal approval and distribution within party and banking circles, meaning most never entered the numismatic market through conventional channels. The Fischer and ParM catalog references here point to two separate Polish specialist systems that tracked these proof-of-concept pieces independently, a redundancy that itself reflects how poorly documented the prób series was for decades.
