Historical Background

The coin was minted by the Polish Mint as the first part of the Polish Nobel Laureates series, aimed at commemorating outstanding Polish women awarded the Nobel Prize. The mintage of this coin is limited, making it a valuable collectible numismatic item.

Wislawa Szymborska (1923–2012) was one of the most outstanding Polish poets, appreciated for her subtlety, irony, and deep reflection on the human condition. In 1996, she received the Nobel Prize in Literature for "poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality." Her work, often economical in form, was full of insightful observations, as well as characteristic humor and philosophical depth.

The coin with her image is a tribute to her achievements and contribution to world literature. The coin's design reflects both her distinctive appearance and the spirit of her work, making it a unique collectible item for literature and numismatics enthusiasts.
