| Additional information |
Jan III Sobieski's 1683 victory at the Battle of Vienna — credited with halting the Ottoman advance into Central Europe — made him a recurring subject for Polish commemorative coinage, particularly during the communist period when medieval martial glory offered ideologically neutral common ground. This nickel trial strike from 1983 marks the tercentenary of that battle. Trial pieces from Mennica Państwowa in this era were produced in very small numbers for internal approval and collector distribution, rarely seeing anything resembling circulation.
