This specimen was lot 1880 in Goldberg sale 106 (Los Angeles, September 2018), where it sold for $960. The catalog description[1] noted, "Poland. 200 Zlotych, 2000-MW. Solidarity Anniversary. NGC graded Proof 69 Ultra Cameo." Poland obtained her freedom in the early 1990's with the fall of the Berlin Wall but the new government found the treasury as empty as before. NCLT's ("Non Circulating Legal Tender" coinage) were issued in a bewildering array to help stem the flow. This one was struck to honor the Solidarity labor union which toppled the Communists.
