Curator note: the official press release covers only the physical stamp (mintage 90,000, designer Roch Stefaniak, photo Sylwester Braun); the NFT airdrop of 5 October 2024 is documented by crypto-stamps.org and kryptoznaczki.pl and the token metadata is issuer-authored (external_url on nft.poczta-polska.pl). The aggregator credits the photograph to Wiesław Chrzanowski — that is the FDC photo; the stamp photo is by Sylwester Braun per the issuer. NFT counts (610 / 470) are open editions.
