aquaintance of mine selling off a few bits and pieces, one of which is this curiosity. translation of medallion wording equates to 1928 Polish Republic. from the workshop of W.BUSZEK. the four circular indentations may have contained jewels ? the lower right hand angle section has the initials WB followed by the date 1943. a jewellery item ? any ideas lads.

Hello prosty zolnierz,

No need to prise it off, I found the following information so that all you have to do is measure the diameter of the coin :

1928 : 5 groszy 20mm diameter

1928 : 2 groszy 17.6mm diameter

1928 : 1 groszy 14.7mm diameter

Hope that the above helps you.

Best wishes

Andrzej
