In the aftermath of World War 1 the Allies agreed to recreate a Polish state for the fi rst time since 1795, which was officially known as the Second Polish Republic. This new state lasted from 1918 until 1939 when the country was invaded by Germany at the start of World War 2. During this interwar period Poland once again began issuing its own currency. This set has 4 coins, the 5, 20 and 50 groszy pieces along with a 1 zloty from the period. All the coins bear the traditional crowned eagle on the obverse and are in Extremely Fine condition.

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.
