On December 2013, Narodowy Bank Polski is putting into circulation three coins dedicated 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Hipolit Cegielski.
Hipolit Cegielski (1813–1868) is a co-creator of the foundations of Polish self organisation and modern economical life in the times of Prussian annexation. After he had finished his philology studies in Berlin, he started his professor’s career at the gymnasium of Saint Magdalena. In 1846 he stood up to the Prussian authorities, who had given him an order to search through students lodgings, which resulted in him loosing the job. As a head of household, Cegielski had to find another livelihood, what lead him to establishing an enterprise which in short time became the largest factory of agricultiral machines in a region. He was an undisputed leader of the Polish community in Poznan.
The coin designed to commemorate a figure of Hipolit Cegielski – one of the most honored Polish social activists of the 19th centrury.
