Amber coin

On the 20th of February, 2001, a silver 20 zlotys coin was issued in Poland, with a round cabochon of amber placed in the upper part of the coin. The coin was prepared to commemorate the "Amber Route" (Szlak Bursztynowy), which in the ancient times led from the present-day Polish country to Rome. The Amber Route is marked in the part of the Europe map with asterisks. Moreover, the coin design presents one of the ancient Roman coins found by archeologists in Poland and the ancient Roman vase. The coin was issued in the amount of 30,000 and was sold at the price of 57 zlotys (ca. 16 US$) per item.
