No news from them, so I went to the local medal museum... Should have done it earlier...
The miniatures in Poland were being made in private engarvers' workshops. That is why it is hard to find 2 looking exactly the same. This is because possesion of the mini's was not obligatory.
The presence of the mint's screwplate has also it's explanation: simply not all workshops had their own plates with name and adress on it (in fact from 50's to 80's most of them didn't have), they used the ones made by the mint.
It is currently almost impossible to find out which workshop made the miniatures in question, unless the workshop still works and keeps the records on all the clients from the past...
