Parchimowicz distinguishes two varieties in this issue, differing in the shape of the separator between the dates 1939–1989 on the reverse. The piece presented here represents variety 335.a2, in which the separator is diamond-shaped. In variety 335.a1, the separator is rectangular.
The coin commemorates the 50th anniversary of Poland’s defensive war in 1939. The reverse depicts three Polish soldiers charging into battle.
This piece has been graded by NGC as MS 65. It is an interesting find for collectors of circulation coins from the Polish People’s Republic, especially those who are completing their sets of die variations.
