Silver Coin 70th Anniversary of the Poznań June ’56 20 zloty Silver 2026 Proof is a commemorative issue honoring one of the most important events in the history of post-war Poland. The Poznań June of 1956 was the first mass workers’ protest against the communist authorities in the Polish People’s Republic and became a symbol of the struggle for freedom, dignity, and workers’ rights.

The coin measures 28.0 × 40.0 mm, giving it an unusual rectangular form that stands out among classic collector coins. The coin is delivered in a capsule and an elegant mint case, together with an accompanying issue folder, underscoring its collector character.

This issue pays tribute to the participants of the events of June 1956—workers, the residents of Poznań, and all those who opposed the repression and injustice of the communist system.
