The rarest of a string of coins with a reverse design by Antoni Madeyski.
In 1932, new two-, five- and ten-zloty coins were introduced into circulation, with reduced weight and diameter, as well as revised iconography. They all depicted the head of a woman in a headscarf, facing left.
Two mints, in Warsaw and London, were chosen to produce them, which we can observe on this mintage in the presence of the mint mark next to the eagle's paw. According to Jerzy Chałupski. The 1932 Warsaw five-zloty coin is"rarer than the mintage would suggest. As a result of too weak pressure of the stamp, there was a disappearance of the highest parts of the relief [which can be seen here, among others, on the crown of the eagle]. This resulted in the decision to remelt the vast majority of the mintage."
Very good relief for this type. Slightly glossy surface, but minor traces of circulation.
