Mickiewicz’s Promethean works “ignited the fire within,” elevating the Polish language and inspiring uprisings against imperial powers. Widely celebrated as the national poet of Poland, Lithuania, and Belarus, Mickiewicz is often compared to Byron. For the first time, marvel at his masterpiece Pan Tadeusz (Sir Thaddeus), with excerpts from his original manuscript beautifully rendered and spotlighted in 24k gold. This limited-edition 1 ounce .999 silver proof commemorative medallion has been struck in a standout 45 mm diameter:

  • Composition: .999 triple fine silver (Ag 999/1,000)
  • Mintage: limited to just 5,000
  • Finish: Proof, ennobled with selective 24-carat gold plating
  • Diameter: 45 mm (1.77 inches)
  • Weight: 1.00 troy oz. (31.108 grams)

Obverse: a bust of Adam Mickiewicz adorned with a laurel wreath, symbolizing fame, triumph, and glory, traditionally awarded to victors in battle, as well as to leaders, artists, poets, scholars, and athletes. To the left, a palm leaf represents eternal life, redemption, and the promise of paradise—motifs celebrated on Mickiewicz’s renowned monuments in Cracow and Warsaw. For the first time, marvel at his masterpiece Pan Tadeusz (Sir Thaddeus), excerpted from his manuscript and highlighted in 24k gold. The legend, inscribed in both English and Polish, reads: Adam Mickiewicz 1798–1855 • Wieszcz narodowy • National Bard. Reverse: Drawing inspiration from Polish tradition, the image features the national personification of Poland, Polonia, joining Britannia and Lady Liberty on contemporary coinage. Designed by Antoni Madeyski, the design showcases a woman's profile adorned with a wreath against a radiant sunlight backdrop. This design first gained prominence on the silver 10 zloty coin in 1932. For this issue, Polish engraver Monika Molenda masterfully adds a striking crown design. Intertwined leaves of the Polish oak and laurel embrace the rim. The motto of The Giants of Poland Collection, “Gigantivm · Hvmeris · Insidentes,” honors the remarkable sons and daughters of the Polish nation. To the right, the Polish state emblem, the White Eagle, a design by Wojciech Jastrzębowski for Second Polish Republic coins, is displayed.
