I couldn't get a comprehensible translation either but I wonder if it could be the Polish Mint?
They seem to offer a lot of non-circulation coins but are very similar to two euro coins.
The one pictured here features a few four-leafed clovers. Perhaps they are considered lucky there also.

Mennica didn't translate as a word, and I didn't see it in a list of cities. Maybe its a name of a person or company? Use Google Translate - it's the best online multilingual translator I've encountered. "Mennica" means "Mint". Unfortunately, the homepage doesn't translate well because of its lack of text, but pages leading off of it do. Looking at the website Amr posted above, the W-shaped logo on the left hand side of the web page is the mintmark of the Polish Mint - so they are struck by the official Polish mint. However, "Dukat Lokalny" translates to "Local Ducats" - in other words, they're tourist dollars. These Polish "local ducats" appear to be highly regulated, at both a national level and at the level of the city or locality in whose name the coin is struck. Off the website, here are the regulations the city of Gdansk (formerly Danzig) enacted for it's "local thalers". In the case of Amr's coin, I'm pretty certain that the locality which issued it is Szczecin (formerly known as Stettin). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Thank you Sap..... just searching for the word "local ducats" have gave me this Local DucatsWhat is a Local Ducat?Contemporary local ducats, which have been recreated in Poland by the Mint of Poland, refer to the historic tradition of minting coins by local rulers. The contemporary local ducat is first and foremost an attractive promotional tool, which guarantees achieving intended informotional and propotional goals in the media alnd local communities. The functioning of the local ducatThe contemporary local ducat is issued by a city and is circulated by local businesses. The local ducat functions as a voucher in a strictly specified time period in a territory determined by the issuer and is accepted by local businesses as a dorm of payment for goods and services. The issuer guarantees to each local ducat holder that it will exchange for legal tender each local that is returning during the course of a campaign. The mint of Poland SupportThe Mint of Poland offers comprehensive support in the process of creating the local ducat by, among others, specifying the mintage, name, image and the face value of the ducat. Through the cotribution of its prestigious brand, marketing supportand the artistic potential of our designers, the Mint of Poland guarantees the highest level of service. http://www.mennica.com.pl/en/produc...-ducats.htmlAll is remaining to know is what was this coin issued to campaign |
