This specimen was lot 1460 in Sincona sale 63 (Zürich, June 2020), where it sold for 750 CHF (about US$940 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"POLEN, Republik. 5 Zlotych 1928, Warschau. Vorzüglich. (republic of Poland, five zlotych of 1928, Warsaw mint, Extremely fine.)"
This type was struck in large quantities 1928-32 at Warsaw, London and Brussels but is today rare, suggesting that the vast majority were melted. Altho it has a Davenport number, we deem it too small to be considered a crown.
Recorded mintage: 7,500,000.
Specification: 18 g, 0.750 fine silver, 33 mm diameter, this specimen 17.95 g.
Catalog reference: Parchimowicz 114 a. KM Y18, Dav-251.
