History

On the 10th February, 1766 the mint reform was effected in Poland, the new mint organized in Warsaw at Bielanska Street coined the gold, silver and copper pieces, as well as the medals and orders.[2]

International partnerships

On February 5, 2009 at the World Money Fair in Berlin a precedent-setting international partnership has been announced. The Polish Mint (Mennica Polska) and the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) set up a program to grade the mint’s new commemorative coins as well and establish a submission center at the mint in Warsaw, Poland. The new program will facilitate the submissions of Polish and Eastern European collectors and dealers for both vintage and modern world coins.[3]
