| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in the final months of communist Poland, this coin commemorates Toruń — birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus and one of the best-preserved medieval Hanseatic towns in Central Europe. The NBP released several high-denomination collector zloty issues through the late 1980s partly to generate hard currency from Western numismatic markets, since the zloty itself was effectively unconvertible and the domestic economy was rationing basic goods.
The .750 fineness was a deliberate cost-saving specification, distinguishing these late-series issues from the .999 silver pieces the mint had produced earlier in the decade.
