For years the man has dreamt of conquering the skies and admiring the world from up above. The Mint of Poland, in an effort to bring this yearning for great and elevated deeds closer, decided to produce a new series of silver collector coins, entitled “How Man Conquered the Skies” to commemorate the numerous attempts over the years to soar through the air. The first coin of the series depicts Icarus, the mythological forerunner of aviation whose will to discover the unknown ended up in a fall.
