One hundred years ago - on July 2, 1923 - Wislawa Szymborska was born: poet, essayist, translator, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature. Author of deeply philosophical poems, lover of literary games, master of irony, creator of surrealist collages, collector of old postcards and connoisseur of refined kitsch, fond of jazz, averse to pathos and distrustful of everything obvious. Her poems have been translated into more than 40 languages and she is the best-known Polish poet in the world. Although it has been 11 years since her death, Wislawa Szymborska's work has lost none of its relevance. And there are many indications that it will not lose it for a long time. This silver coin of extraordinary cultural and artistic value is dedicated to the memory of one of the most outstanding poets of the Polish language - Wislawa Szymborska. The coin has been carefully crafted by outstanding sculptors, who have created the poet's image in relief with attention to the smallest details. It is not only a tribute to one of the most outstanding figures of Polish culture, but also an excellent way to honor and preserve her legacy in a lasting and dignified way.
