Comments

Different from National Tokens at 8 o'clock on the reverse.One side of the mountain is in the Czech Republic; the other belongs to Poland. The area is very popular in summer with tourists from the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany, who enjoy hiking in the region's unique alpine environment.On the Polish side, a disc-shaped observatory with weather station and restaurant was built in 1974, as was the St. Lawrence Chapel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sn%C4%9B%C5%BEka
