Description

Incredible Bonded Pair Mint Error 'Solidarity' Piece

People's Republic silver Mint Error - Bonded Pair "Solidarity" 100000 Zlotych 1990 MS67 NGC, Warsaw mint, cf. KM-Y196.1 (for standard type), Fischer-OB122, Parchimowicz-619. 53mm. Known as subtype A with L below date, flat top in S of Solidarity, and space between Ł and 1 of denomination. A dramatic and visually arresting mint error, the selection at hand presents two coins irrevocably fused together into a double-weight piece, creating a form of broken beauty rarely encountered with such clarity. The surfaces display sublime patination, further emphasizing the coin's unexpected contours and preserved metal flow, while the astounding technical grade underscores its virtually pristine appearance. Among the seldom-seen mint errors of this type, this is unquestionably the most spectacular example the current cataloger has witnessed.

The Solidarity movement, founded in 1980 at the Gdańsk Shipyard under the leadership of Lech Wałęsa, was the first independent labor union in a Soviet-bloc country and became a driving force for democratic change in Poland. By 1990, it had played a central role in dismantling communist rule, marking a pivotal moment in the broader collapse of Eastern European authoritarian regimes.
