For 10 years, between 1975 and 1984, Poland honoured the memory of one of the country’s leading authors Boleslaw Prus with a 10-zloty coin, which features his profile on the reverse side. Born Alexander Glovacki in 1847, he adopted the pen name Boleslaw Prus at the age of 25 when he began writing humorous newspaper columns, yet he kept his real name for his more “serious” literary works. These are nice uncirculated coins.
