Description

The five-zloty note was introduced into circulation in order to withdraw the banknote of the same denomination, which had been in circulation since the currency reform of 1950. Later, the coin was replaced by the five-zloty pattern 1975, due to the change in the parameters of circulation coins from the first half of the seventies of the twentieth century. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the Mint of Poland released several replicas of the 5 zloty coin model 1958 with different diameters of the disc and in different materials – collector's pattern only.
