II RP, Spikes, 2 gold 1924, Paris

II RP (1918-1939), Woman - Ears, 2 zloty 1924, mint Paris

circulating piece

750 silver

Piece oftwo-zloty coin, with gray natural patina, struck at the French mint in Paris to the design of Tadeusz Beyer is the first of the series of two-zloty circulation coins of the Second Republic, not belonging to the rarity, but still sought after in nice condition. All the 1924-1925 two-zloty coins (made of sterling silver and weighing 10 grams) were minted abroad in our country, in Paris, London, Philadelphia or Birmingham. They differ from each other in small details; London pieces have a dot after the date, American pieces lack it or are bit stamped inverted, Paris pieces have mint marks in the form of a horn and torch on the sides of the date, and those from Birmingham just the letter H placed after the year (the latter are also characterized by a slightly "slimmer" eagle).
