The silver collector coin with a face value of PLN 20, issued in 2009, is a unique tribute to three extraordinary Polish women: Irena Sendler, Zofia Kossak, and Sister Matylda Getter. During World War II, these courageous women risked their lives to save Jews from extermination, demonstrating extraordinary bravery and humanity. This coin is not only a valuable collector's item, but also a reminder of the values represented by these heroines.
The obverse of the coin features the image of an eagle, which is the emblem of the Republic of Poland, and below it a stylized image of a wall with a gap in the middle and broken barbed wire, symbolizing the breaking of barriers and liberation. On the left side of the wall is the Star of David, and at the bottom is the inscription "20 ZŁ." The year of issue, 2009, is located on the left side, while the inscription "RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA" runs in a semicircle at the top. The mint mark, "M/W," is located under the eagle's left talon.
The reverse of the coin features stylized busts of three heroines: at the top, Sister Matylda Getter with the inscription "SIOSTRA MATYLDA GETTER" on the right; below, on the left, Irena Sendler with the inscription "IRENA SENDLEROWA"; and on the right, Zofia Kossak with the inscription "ZOFIA KOSSAK." In the background are stylized silhouettes of birds, symbolizing freedom and hope. On the left side, in a semicircle, is the inscription "POLACY RATUJĄCY ŻYDÓW" (Poles saving Jews).
Investing in this coin is not only a purchase of valuable metal, but also the acquisition of a unique work commemorating the heroic deeds of Polish women during World War II. The 925 silver guarantee ensures the high quality of the coin, and the limited mintage of 100,000 pieces increases its collector's value. This coin is sought after by both collectors and investors who appreciate its historical and cultural significance.
Profiles of the women commemorated on the coin:
• Irena Sendler (1910–2008): Employee of the Department of Social Welfare and Public Health in Warsaw. During the war, she organized a network of social workers who helped Jews, especially children, escape from the Warsaw ghetto, saving about 2,500 children from death. After the war, she was honored with the title of Righteous Among the Nations.
• Zofia Kossak (1889–1968): Writer and co-founder of the Żegota organization, which helped Jews in occupied Poland. Her underground activities and journalism contributed to raising public awareness of the tragedy of the Jews and mobilizing people to help them.
• Sister Matylda Getter (1870–1968): A nun from the Congregation of Franciscan Sisters of the Family of Mary. During the war, as the superior of the Warsaw province, she organized shelter for Jewish children in orphanages run by the congregation, saving hundreds of lives.
Having this coin in your collection is not only an investment in precious metal, but also an expression of respect for the heroic deeds of Polish women who risked their lives to save others. It is an excellent choice for those who appreciate both the material value and the deep historical significance of numismatic items.
