The National Bank of Poland
The National Bank of Poland
From 1st January, 1995 Narodowy Bank Polski has been issuing 9 denominations of circulation coins, six of which are minted by Mennica Polska: 10gr, 20gr, 50 gr, 1 zl, 2 zl and 5 zl.
On the obverse of each circulation coin there is an image of the eagle established as the emblem of the Republic of Poland and the year of issue, which is the actual year of minting the coin. Along the rim there is an inscription: RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA (THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND).
In the central part of the circulation coin reverse there is a number - the nominal value expressed in gr or zl. Along the edge there is a decorative ornament in the form of oak leaves - different for each denomination.
1gr, 2gr and 5gr coins are made of brass-coated steel, while those in the denominations of 10gr, 20gr, 50gr and 1zl are made of cupronickel (MN25). 2zl and 5zl coins are both minted of cupronickel (the 2 zl coin core and the 5 zl coin ring) as well as of aluminium bronze (the 5 zl coin core and the 2zl coin ring).
Depending on the denomination, the coin edge is reeded (1gr, 20gr and 50gr) or plain (2gr and 2zl), the plain edge alternates with the reeded one (5gr, 10gr and 1zl) or is irregularly milled (5zl).
