Piece of a two-zloty coin, with a natural fine patina, struck at the US Mint in London to a design by Tadeusz Beyer is the fourth in a series of circulating two-zloty coins of the Second Republic, not among the rare, but still sought after in nice condition. All the 1924-1925 two-zloty coins (made of sterling silver and weighing 10 grams) were minted abroad in our country, in Paris, London, Philadelphia or Birmingham. They differ from each other in small details; London pieces have a dot after the date, American pieces lack it or are bit stamped inverted, Paris pieces have mint marks in the form of a horn and torch on the sides of the date, and those from Birmingham just the letter H placed after the year (the latter are also characterized by a slightly "slimmer" eagle).
