Additional information

Wyszyński spent three years under house arrest in Prudnik and Komańcza between 1953 and 1956, during which he drafted the Jasna Góra Vows — a mass act of consecration recited by an estimated million Poles in 1956. His beatification, long delayed by Vatican procedural requirements surrounding his relationship with the communist state, finally occurred in September 2021, the same year this coin was issued. The wooden cross insert is not decorative whimsy; it references the Black Madonna's Jasna Góra shrine, where a wooden cross became central to resistance symbolism during his imprisonment.
