Just a heads up that the latest issue in the fascinating, if over-named ‘The Enduring Soldiers Accursed by the Communists’  from the National Bank of Poland is now out. The half-ounce sterling silver series has been running since 2017 and is struck to a proof finish with just a simple red highlight on the reverse face.

The history behind the people on these coins is tragic and not well known, and for that alone, the series is worthy of a second look. We particularly like these coins for what they demonstrate about the power of numismatics to bring to light and place a spotlight on events in history that are less widely known. We’d imagine that this series reasonates particularly strongly in Poland, a country that loves it coins. We have a full Coin Series Profile of the range up, to which this one, featuring ‘Huzar’ has been added. The descriptive histories of each figure by the mint is poignant and tragic. Very heroic people.
