Among the several copies of the “Sztandar” that we will be offering at the upcoming auction, this one stands out from the rest. Here is an extremely rare, until recently uncatalogued hybrid, discovered and described for the first time in 2019 by a specialist in the field of coins of the Second Polish Republic, Mr. Mariusz Walendzik, whose discovery was recently confirmed by the publication of the variety in the latest edition of the specialist catalog of J. Parchimowicz.

This piece was minted with the obverse stamp used for minting the “deep” banner with a characteristic doubled date (during the production of the stamp, the date was stamped twice, but not perfectly in the same place).
