Grade: PCGS MS62
Reference: Parchimowicz 114a, Fischer OB 013, Chałupski 2.22.1.a. (R)

A rare item in this state of preservation, appreciated with a high note by NGC.

A very well-preserved piece with a beautiful, intense and satin mint luster.

Impeccable details and no rubbing of the upper parts of the relief, indicating that the coin was not circulated.

A small number of cuts in the background, which are a common shortcoming with these coins due to the large space of the background relative to the relief highlights.

One of the most typologically and historically interesting coins of the Second Republic, which was withdrawn from circulation as early as 1934 due to the rapid devaluation of money.

Obverse: state eagle of the 1927 design, below it the inscription 5 ZŁOTYCH 5 and the year.

Reverse: the figure of Nike to the right, above her an inscription RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA, under the fold of the tunic the Kościesza coat of arms - the mark of the State Mint in Warsaw, on under the goddess the initials of the designer - E.W. (Edward Wittyg).

Edge: the inscription SALUS-REIPUBLICAE-SUPREMA-LEX arranged towards the obverse;

Coin minted in .750 silver with a diameter of 33 and a prescribed weight of 18 g;

Denomination introduced by the reform of January 11, 1924 not put into circulation until 1928. According to the law of January 20, 1924, silver coins could be used to pay debts up to a maximum of 100 zlotys. The reverse was designed by the well-known sculptor Edward Wittyg, author of, among other things, the Aviator monument in Warsaw. The coin circulated until 1934, when it was withdrawn by decree of the President of Poland.
