Mint of Poland with National Bank of Poland has launched a 20 Years of The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity coins in 925 Silver and Nordic Gold. I like the heart shaped silver coins, an unusual coins design. The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (GOCC, Polish Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy, WOŚP) is one of the biggest, non-governmental, non-profit, charity organizations in Poland. When anyone gives GOCC volunteers any amount of money, they gets a red heart sticker in return.
On the reverse, the coin design includes a 20th years anniversary text with a tree and heart flowers. The reverse show a piano keyboard cascading up and down the left side of the coin along with the emblem of Poland, the eagle and the coin’s face value of 10 Zlotych.
