Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Grosz coin was designed by the Polish artist, Antoni Madeyski, and it features an image of a stork, which is a symbol of Poland. The stork is depicted carrying a baby in its beak, which represents the hope for a new generation and a brighter future. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the resilience and determination of the Polish people during a time of great turmoil and occupation.
