| Additional information |
Poland's wartime occupation coinage was planned well before the German administration formalized its monetary apparatus for the Generalgouvernement. Trial strikes in aluminium from 1938 predate the occupation itself, indicating the dies and compositional experiments were conducted under circumstances that remain incompletely documented — possibly by the Warsaw Mint under external pressure or in anticipation of forced monetary restructuring. The "50 far from leaves" designation refers to a specific positional die relationship, not a casual observation, and distinguishes this from the production type in ways that matter to variety specialists.
