In the St. Mary’s Basilica in Gdańsk, a monumental astronomical clock designed by Hans Düringer has been operating since 1470. It is one of the oldest and largest surviving clocks of its kind in Poland, displaying lunar phases, zodiac signs and the liturgical calendar. At noon, it presents the traditional procession of the Apostles. The silver coin faithfully recreates the historic design in a precisely crafted collector’s form.
"According to one of the legends,
if one stands beneath the clock at 12 o'clock on February 29th
and makes a wish, that wish will be fulfilled".
