| Additional information |
Łańcut Castle entered the Polish commemorative coin program decades after its most notorious modern chapter: the September 1939 evacuation by Count Alfred Potocki, who fled westward ahead of the German advance with hundreds of wagons carrying the estate's art collection — one of the largest private removals of cultural property at the war's outbreak. Much of what he saved ended up scattered across Europe. The castle itself was seized and used as a German officers' billet.
The bimetallic format for this denomination has been NBP's workhorse for castle and monument issues since the early 2000s.
