The “Balloon” is the second collector coin from the “How Man Conquered the Skies” series.
The Mint of Poland, in an effort to bring man’s dreams of conquering the skies and admiring the world from up above closer, decided to produce a new series of silver collector coins, entitled “How Man Conquered the Skies” to commemorate the numerous attempts over the years to soar through the air. The first coin of the series depicts Icarus, the mythological forerunner of aviation. The second coin presents the invention of the Montgolfier brothers – the hot air balloon.
The coins will be struck at a very low mintage – up to 6000 pieces – using Ag 925 blanks
