Polish EU Presidency logo on coins
Coins were issued in three face values – PLN 2, PLN 10 and PLN 100. They were minted on one-off basis and introduced to circulation on the first day of the Polish Presidency on 1 July. Coins were designed by Urszula Walerzak. The obverse of the PLN 2 coin made of Nordic Gold depicts the image of the eagle established as the official emblem of the Republic of Poland and the face value, while the reverse features the logo of the Polish Presidency in the European Union Council set against a stylised fragment of the EU flag. The same leitmotifs appear on both sides of PLN 10 and PLN 100 coins, which yet present different details. The two coins with a bigger face value come with a distinct ornament – the twelve stars being the symbol of the EU. Replies to This Discussion

if Poland was in the euro area , I'm sure they would have minted the above coin as 2 euro commemorative

Nice!!! :-D
These are nice examples of those coins I call "quasi-euro" , i.e. coins minted by countries which are on the way to get the Euro (sooner or later) and start to mint similar-to-euro coins. These are official coins with legal tender, which have nothing to do with unofficial "probes".
There have been some interesting cases from Cyprus (before 2008), Hungary and Romania.
Somebody knows where/how to get those zloty ?
