The National Bank of Poland has introduced new two-zlotys, 20-zlotys and 200-zlotys coins commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Jewish Ghetto Uprising in Warsaw in 1943.

NBP Chairman will present the new coins to the Polish and Israeli Presidents Lech Kaczynski and Simon Peres at a special ceremony in the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, Tuesday.

The two zloty coin will be on sale today, and the 20-zlotys and 200-zlotys coins will be available at NBP branches tomorrow.

The new 200-zlotys coin will be minted in 12,000 pieces. The reverse bears the face of a man in a hat hiding behind a fragment of a brick wall. The obverse shows a burning house and the Polish national emblem – the white eagle with a brick wall in the background.

The 20-zlotys coin minted in silver in 14,5000 pieces will show the Star of David against a brick wall backdrop on the reverse and a tree, and the other side will show loose bricks and flames surrounding the Polish eagle.

The two zloty coin minted in Nordic Gold alloy in 1.75 million copies shows barbed wire in the shape of the Star of David and the face of a girl wearing a beret on the reverse. (mj)
