20 zlotych 1974 “Marceli Nowotko,” a circulation coin of the Polish People’s Republic struck in cupronickel at the State Mint in Warsaw.
The K187.A variety is characterized by the position of the mint mark corresponding to type A. According to Krzewiński’s catalog, it accounts for approximately 50% of the total mintage for that year, or about 10,000,000 pieces.
This piece is described by NGC as “FAR DEVICES,” which, in reference to the coin’s design, indicates more widely spaced design elements that are farther apart from one another.
The piece presented here has been graded AU 58 by NGC. An interesting find for collectors specializing in variant issues of circulation coins from the People’s Republic of Poland.
