Poland 2015 5 zlotych
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. Circulating coinage is seldom seen in American dealer stocks. This type was struck 1994, 1996, 2008-10. Later dates exist. As of August 2023, US$1 = 4.11 złotych, making this coin worth about US$1.22.
Wikipedia comments,
"As a result of inflation in the early 1990s, the currency underwent redenomination. Thus, on 1 January 1995, 10,000 old złoty (PLZ) became one new złoty (PLN). As a member of the European Union, Poland is obligated to adopt the euro when all specific conditions are met, however there is no time limit for fulfilling all of them."
