During the Great Depression, the Polish government issued what many regard as the country’s most beautiful silver coin ever. Fittingly, this crown-sized 10 Zlotych pays tribute to one of Poland’s most popular monarchs, Queen Jadwiga. Depicted as a maiden on the coin, the young queen was so beloved that she was canonized a saint in 1997. Minted only in 1932 and 1933, this scarce coin is in Very Fine condition. Quantities are limited, so call now.
