The 200 zł gold coin was issued by the National Bank of Poland to commemorate the XXXI Summer Olympic Games held in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. It is part of the official numismatic emission, commemorating the participation of Polish athletes in this prestigious international sports event. The Rio Games were the first to be organized in South America and gathered competitors from all over the world, competing in dozens of disciplines. The Polish team, traditionally strong in athletics, water sports, and wrestling, also took part, winning medals and promoting national sports achievements. The coin was minted from high-grade gold and is dedicated to collectors and sports enthusiasts, serving as a lasting memento of Poland's participation in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
The issue is characterized by an elegant and carefully crafted graphic design that combines Olympic symbolism with national motifs. On the reverse, there is an athlete riding a mountain bike. The figure is shown surrounded by decorative elements referring to the fauna and flora of Brazil. The graphic is complemented by the logo of the Polish Olympic Committee and the inscription POLSKA REPREZENTACJA OLIMPIJSKA RIO 2016. The obverse of the coin, in accordance with legal requirements, on a separated irregular plane, features the coat of arms of the Republic of Poland. Above the eagle, there is a stylized constellation of stars referring to the flag of Brazil, the denomination mark, and the date of issue. The entire composition was executed with great attention to detail, and the use of the highest-grade gold gives the coin a prestigious and collector's character.
The 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro were a unique event in the history of world sports. For the first time, the Olympic Games were organized in South America, which had not only symbolic but also cultural significance – Brazil became the host of one of the most important sports events in the world, presenting its achievements and diversity. The XXXI Summer Olympic Games took place from August 5 to 21, 2016, gathering over 11,000 athletes from more than 200 countries, competing in 28 sports disciplines.
For Poland, it was a continuation of a long and rich Olympic tradition – Polish athletes have continuously participated in the Games since 1924, repeatedly winning medals and achieving high placements in the classifications. In Rio de Janeiro, the Polish team consisted of 243 athletes competing in 23 disciplines. The Poles won a total of 11 medals – 2 gold, 3 silver, and 6 bronze – achieving success in, among others, athletics, rowing, cycling, and wrestling. The Rio Games went down in history as another confirmation of the strength and fighting spirit of Polish athletes and their contribution to the development of the Olympic idea.
The issuance of the coin by the National Bank of Poland commemorates both the idea of Olympism and Poland's commitment to promoting sports at the highest level. It is also a tribute to all the country's representatives who proudly wore the white and red colors on the world stage.
