Republic platinum Pattern 5 Zlotych 1928 UNC, Munich mint, 36g, KM-Pn317, Parchimowicz-P191d. A rare offering of this pattern type in platinum, handsomely produced with flashy, lustrous surfaces and sharp details to be found throughout the engraving. This type features the famous painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa (Matka Boska Częstochowska), also known as the Black Madonna, housed in the Jasna Góra monastery. A superb piece in general and one to elicit much attention from collectors of patterns and the Polish Republics. Currently, neither NGC nor PCGS are certifying this type.
