The minting of the November Uprising is one of the most interesting souvenirs in Polish history of the struggle for freedom and the rebirth of the Polish State.
After the outbreak of the Uprising, new coins were not soon introduced. Originally, the mint continued to mint coins of Nicholas I. However, after the Czar's dethronement on January 25, 1831, the National Government changed the design of the coins and began issuing three-grosz, ten-grosz, two-gold and five-gold coins, and from March 1831 also gold ducats based on the Dutch model.
No 1-zloty coins were minted due to the paper issue of this denomination. Insurgent coins were withdrawn from circulation on June 1, 1838.
Circumferential piece with a slight justness, coin struck with a fresh stamp - clear prooflike (cutting off the matte relief from the heavily glossy background) visible.

The rarest stamp variant of insurrectionary double gold coins with the letter O from the word CROLESTWO centrally above the cross known from only a few pieces.
