The gold collector's coin was issued on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the renewal of the tradition of the Warsaw University of Technology. It is a unique numismatic publication, which, through high-quality craftsmanship, pays tribute to the heritage of one of the most prestigious technical universities in Poland. The coin stands out with its deep symbolic resonance - it showcases the spirit of science, progress, and educational traditions that have shaped generations of engineers and researchers over a hundred years. The numismatic design, the work of Dobrochna Surajewska, employs a sophisticated metaphor combining science, technology, and culture, enhancing the truly Polish character of the issue. It is an excellent proposition for collectors of educational themes, lovers of the history of science, and all those who appreciate items with a strong socio-cultural context. This coin serves as an elegant testament to the pride in Polish technical thought and values that have survived a century of scientific development.
The issue exudes modern aesthetics and a sophisticated composition, combining academic tradition with the symbolism of the exact sciences. The design was conceived to reflect the intellectual achievements of the Warsaw University of Technology through subtle yet expressive references to mathematics, physics, and engineering. On the reverse, the central motif draws attention, depicting a set of forms that, depending on the angle of view, change their shape, revealing symbolic figures: the Greek letter sigma, a gear wheel, and a multiplication sign. Together, they create a dynamic metaphor of the interdisciplinary nature of the university. Around the central plane, on a separate ring, is the inscription 100-LECIE ODNOWIENIA TRADYCJI POLITECHNIKI WARSZAWSKIEJ. In the upper part of the obverse is the emblem of the Republic of Poland, below which is the mint mark. In the lower right part of this composition, the date of issue is visible. Against this background, a graphic representation of a fractal function unfolds, being a modern nod to mathematical complexity and logical order. The whole is surrounded by a ring with the inscriptions RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA and the denomination, harmoniously tying the design into an elegant, cohesive whole.
The year 2015 brought a unique opportunity to honor an institution that has continuously shaped the elite of Polish technical thought for a century. The Warsaw University of Technology, although its roots date back to the 19th century, began a new chapter in 1915 - regaining independence and transforming into a modern higher education institution with Polish as the language of instruction. It is this moment, symbolizing the birth of modern Polish technical education, that was commemorated by the issuance of the gold collector's coin.
The university played a key role in rebuilding the country after regaining independence, and its graduates made a significant contribution to the development of engineering, industry, and the exact sciences - both in Poland and beyond its borders. For decades, the Warsaw University of Technology was not only a place of education but also a space for innovation and reflection on modernity. In the interwar period, it was one of the centers of technical thought in Central and Eastern Europe, and its development was not halted even by the dramatic events of World War II.
By issuing the coin on the occasion of the anniversary, the Polish Mint honored not only the university itself but also the ideas it stands for - development, rationality, responsibility, and service to society. The coin is a lasting testament to the contribution of the Warsaw University of Technology in shaping the intellectual and technical identity of modern Poland.
