Polish national Bank emits, in addition to circulation, including collector coins minted in low cost, mainly for domestic and foreign numismatists and collector notes. They differ from coins and banknotes circulating richer symbolic images of the characters and events.
History captured on euro banknotes and coins
Banknotes and collector coins are issued to celebrate important events or to commemorate the outstanding figures, authorities and their role in the history of Poland and Polish people.
– Actually, no commemorative coin, which does not apply to the thread of a historical, patriotic, Polish. The first commemorative coin, issued by the NBP was the coin dedicated to the 1000th anniversary of the creation of the Polish state in 1966. And last month, the Bank issued collector note devoted to the same event, only 50 years later – says a guest Ones Barbara Jaroszek, Deputy Director of the Department of Cash and Issue NBP.
It may happen that some events are so important that they are celebrated again. The best example is the anniversary of Poland’s independence. This anniversary was celebrated on coins already several times.
Leading Poles – on the 100th anniversary of independence
A 2018 marks one hundred years since this event, from the birth of the second Republic in 1918.
– But the first coin dedicated to the 100 anniversary of independence was issued by the National Bank of Poland as early as 2015. For the first time we will have a series of coins: the first one shows the Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, and the next General Jozef Haller, Ignacy Paderewski and Dmowski – emphasizes guest Ones.
The events associated with this anniversary is so much, and NBP receives so many requests that this anniversary especially to celebrate in relation to a particular organization or institution, the Bank has decided to issue just such a series, nationwide.
the next coin in the series will be in November, and it will be dedicated to Joseph Haller. These are coins issued version silver and gold.
Money as the Internet
coins, banknotes that were once the media, now comparable to the Internet, radio or television. So in fact we communicate with the public, and that for centuries. Replace these modern means of communication.
– Masters of the transmission in this way, a variety of information were definitely Roman emperors. They prevailed there different fashion. Once portrayed himself as the elderly, although they were młodzieniaszkami, and sometimes vice versa. Also they communicated that won eg. A battle, even though she was still ongoing. Actually, every event was dedicated to the new coin. The first living ruler depicted on the coin was Julius Caesar, which obtained the consent of the Senate, on the issue of its image on the coin – like Barbara Jaroszek.
Arts dominated numismatics
A modern looking primarily for new forms of artistic expression, as far as consolidating the memory of people and events. Coin Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, in denominations of 10 zł is eg. A rectangular shape, with slightly rounded corners.
– Collector coins, especially in this version of the silver and gold often have various additional monetary techniques. I eg. Their performance on the rectangle is no longer such a rarity for collectors. Often they also have some extra supplement as selective gold plating, inserts or coloring occurs coins. And although they are, of course, means of payment, but rather not pay them in the store, they are rather small works of art – notes guest radio Ones.
Gallery of the most prominent figures
the image of Marshal Pilsudski is very often depicted on coins and banknotes, but the rectangular version was first aired in 2015, but usually shows someone is Pope John Paul II. The second is the Jozef Pilsudski, and the third Tadeusz Kosciuszko.
– All collector coins are quite low denominations, 10 or 20 zł and of course you can also pay them in the store. But definitely I advise against it. Since as early as the date of issue they are called. selling price, which is significantly above the denomination. In the case of silver coins is about 100 to 200 zł, although there are and those that are already on the first day value above a few hundred gold – draws attention to Barbara Jaroszek.
Forgery – and security
Banknotes are getting better, more modern protection, special strips, watermarks, holograms, optically variable inks or recto-verso. In view of this happen, however, forgery?
– In February 2016, the NBP introduced the latest in a series of upgraded banknotes of 200 zł, with the special wide thread. But forgeries occur. However, we need to compare it to the number of banknotes in circulation. At the moment, the value of currency in circulation is approx. 167 billion zł. This means that in the course of the cash we have approx. 1 billion 600 million banknotes. What year is disclosed approx. 10 thousand. pieces of counterfeit banknotes. NBP providing this number to one million pieces of banknotes in circulation. And for years this number is 6-7 counterfeits per million notes – explains the guest radio Ones.
The Counterfeiters try all the time to counterfeit banknotes, but just from this include central banks to introduce still new security.
– And they must act with much more advance because the preparation of the new banknote, both on the technology and putting it on the market, typically takes at least several years – adds Barbara Jaroszek the NBP.

And who decides on the project note that there will be such and not another historical figure, and this is not another king?
– Banknotes general circulation of the images of Polish rulers, their concept was developed even before the denomination, more than 20 years ago. While at the NBP is preparing a plan to issue collector coins and commemorative. There is usually a dozen topics coins, which were adopted by the NBP to the issue – explains the guest Ones.
Bank receives every year nearly 100 such initiatives emission, which at the beginning are considered by the Council. Numismatic body Consulting with the board of the NBP. Council prepares a recommendation, whether the topic included in the plan of issue.
– then take the final decision is always the president of the Polish National Bank – notes Barbara Jaroszek, Deputy Director of the Department of Cash and Issue NBP.
On Monday, April 18, 2016. NBP issued a coin dedicated to the NBP Money Centre them. Sławomir S. Skrzypek, and on April 20 was opened to the public institutions. And as informs NBP Center can trace the fate of the money in a broad historical context and economically, and they are shown in 16 subject modules – ranging from “Antiquity and the Middle Ages”, to “Money in the arts.” In addition to the topics typically historical presented as knowledge of the stock exchanges and financial markets, unions, foreign exchange and economic, as well as the secrets of creation and production of money.
