Description

The Mint of Poland is jubilant to announce issuing a coin in the series presenting the borders of Poland changing over the centuries.

The collection of 5 coins starts off with the “Poland of Boleslaw Chrobry” coin, which depicts the shape of Poland in 1025 during the last year of his reign.

  • Minted in .999 fine silver
  • The unique irregular-shaped design
  • Embellished with digital printing
  • Offered in a stylish packaging, designed specifically to house the coin


The main feature of the coin is its extraordinary design – elements in its relief depict an outline of lands giving the beginning to the country of Poland, while proof elements show lands which were joined to Poland during the reign of King Boleslaw Chrobry. The coin is characterized by its harmonious combination of historical motifs, which form a whole to enchant each and every lover of history and those fond of monetary art.

The reign of Boleslaw Chrobry was the second stadium of building a strong political centre. The action taken by Chrobry was of incomparably greater scale than any other initiatives pursued by his predecessors, which included aggressive foreign policy including interventions in neighbouring countries. The first king of Poland joined a number of territorial gains of different status, i.a. Meissen, Milsko, Lusatia, Czech Republic, Moravia, Slovakia, Brest, Grody Czerwieńskie and Pomezania.
