Lot 2259		Poland. Pattern 100 Zlotych 1925. Silver. 18.91 gm. Overstruck on a USSR 1 Rouble, 1924. Parch. P167d, Kop--. Modernistic Copernicus and Polish eagle designs by Stanislaw Szukalski, who tried this unadopted pattern in a number of metals and sizes. Host coin�s edge inscription clear: "??????? ??????? 18 ????? (4 ? 21 ?) ??". The weight of a normal 1925 100 Zlotych Copernicus Pattern of this size -- which would have used a fresh silver blank -- is 24.5 gm, while the standard for a 1924 Soviet Rouble was 20.00 gm. Thus the host coin here is 1 gram light � its surfaces may possibly have been mechanically smoothed in order to receive the unusual design of the pattern. As to why a Soviet coin (or any coin for that matter) would be used as a host on which to strike this Polish pattern, this is an enigma. A possible explanation may lie in the designer Stanislaw Szukalski, one of Poland�s most controversial artists, whose goal was to create a new Polish art based on its mythology and history. Requires additional research. Extremely rare and unique as an overstrike on a Soviet coin. Authenticated and graded by NGC MS 61. *Estimate Value $10,000 - UP* View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
