Veering slightly off topic, a great read on the Poles' contributions to the war effort (and their ultimate betrayal by the victorious Allies) is No Greater Ally by Kenneth K. Koskodan.

Although technically a medal rather than a coin, this nevertheless fits in well with the overall theme of this thread. About 25 mm in diameter, and rather hefty at almost 3 mm thick.   For an account of the events commemorated by this issue, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_...ur_of_CanadaColligo ergo sum

Italy's 5 centesimi. The obverse still depicts the king, but the reverse is given over to a fascist motif. The "17" in Roman numerals marks the number of years Mussolini had been in power.   Colligo ergo sum
