Get in Touch

This project grows one record at a time, and we would love your help. Whether you have a coin to share, a correction to offer, or simply a question about Polish numismatic history, we want to hear from you.

A Project Built on Passion

Project White Eagle started as something personal. It grew from a fascination with the coins in our own collections and a frustration that no single English-language reference brought together the full sweep of Polish numismatic history in one place. What began as notes in a spreadsheet became this database, and it continues to grow with every research session, every auction catalog reviewed, and every message we receive from someone who knows something we don't.

We are a small group of collectors and researchers affiliated with the Polish American Numismatic Society, working on this in our spare time with personal resources. There is no institutional budget, no grant, and no team of paid researchers. Just genuine love for the subject and a conviction that this history deserves to be properly documented and made freely accessible to everyone.

Every coin record you see here represents hours of cross-referencing sources, reading auction catalogs, and carefully writing descriptions that are accurate and clear. We are proud of what has been built so far and equally clear-eyed about how much remains to be done. Reaching out is always welcome.

Polish American Numismatic Society

Project White Eagle is developed in association with the Polish American Numismatic Society (PANS), an organization dedicated to the study, preservation, and appreciation of Polish and Polish-American coinage, tokens, medals, and paper money. PANS brings together collectors and historians from across the United States and Poland who share a deep interest in numismatics as a window into Polish history and culture.

If you are a collector of Polish coins, a researcher of Polish history, or simply someone who has picked up an interesting coin and wants to know more about it, PANS is a community worth knowing. The society hosts two Coin Shows per year in Michigan and holds regular meetings focused on numismatic education, bringing together local and international partners to teach, share, and deepen knowledge of one of the richest coinage traditions in Europe.

What We're Looking For

This database is only as good as the sources behind it. If you have access to any of the following, we would genuinely love to hear from you:

  • Coin images (obverse and reverse): high-resolution scans or photographs for coins where our records currently show none
  • Mintage figures from primary sources: official mint records, NBP documentation, or reliable catalog citations we may have missed
  • Auction records: realized prices from Polish auction houses (WCN, Marciniak, OneBid, DESA) or international sales not yet in our price guide
  • Catalog references: Parchimowicz, Kopicki, Berezowski, or Gumowski numbers for coins where our records are incomplete
  • Medieval coin attributions: scholarly citations, museum documentation, or die studies for Piast and Jagiellonian era coinage
  • Corrections to any existing record. Wrong metal, wrong weight, wrong date, wrong description. We would rather be corrected than remain wrong.
  • Contacts at Polish institutions: museums, the NBP archive, or university numismatic collections that might permit collaboration

All contributors are credited in the source attribution for every record they help improve. This project believes in transparency about where its data comes from, and that means crediting the people who help make it better.

Support the Project

Project White Eagle is free to use, carries no advertising, and collects no user data. It is funded entirely out of pocket. Server costs, software subscriptions for auction archive access, catalog purchases, and the many hours of research behind every record all come from personal resources.

If this database has been useful to you, if it helped you identify a coin, verify a price, or learn something about Polish history, please consider a small contribution. Any amount makes a direct difference. Donations go toward expanding auction archive access, acquiring reference catalogs (particularly older Polish-language sources that are difficult and expensive to obtain), and keeping the site online and maintained.

Make a Contribution

Donations of any size are deeply appreciated and go directly toward research resources and site maintenance. This project has no institutional backing. Your support is what makes continued growth possible.

We are an ongoing labor of love, not a business. Every złoty and every dollar contributed goes back into making this a more complete and more reliable resource for everyone who cares about Polish numismatic history.

An Ongoing Effort

There is no finish line for a project like this. Polish numismatic history spans more than a thousand years, dozens of political entities, mints from Kraków to Paris to Philadelphia, and thousands of coin types. The 3,570 records currently in the database represent meaningful progress and a fraction of what remains to be documented.

We update the database regularly as new research is completed, new auction results are published, and new contributors share their knowledge. We are actively working to expand coverage of the NBP collector coin series, fill gaps in the medieval Piast records, and add auction price data across all eras. Every session adds something.

This is a resource built for the long term. Whether you visit today or return in a year, you should find it more complete, more accurate, and more useful than before. That is the commitment. We are grateful to everyone who has supported it through data, through corrections, through donations, and through simply using it and caring about Polish history.
