The 1936 Polish 2 Złotys “Sailing Ship” coin has a simple charm. It was minted to mark the 15th anniversary of the Seaport of Gdynia. On the reverse, a three‑masted square‑rigger rides the waves!
The ship on the coin is modeled after the Dar Pomorza, the “White Frigate,” a vessel that means a lot to Poland’s maritime story.
Because so many of these coins were lost or melted during World War II, finding an original today feels special. It’s one of those pieces collectors hold onto not just for rarity, but for the story behind it.

Some collectors and stackers are drawn to ship-themed coins. Here in Hive, there is @kerrislravenhll, and
@silverd510, and myself, to name just a few.
I also want to acknowledge @matthew1, who has the same 1936 Polish 2 Złotys in his stack.
I hope to see you again soon!
Hugs and Kisses 🥰🌺🤙!!!!
