Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Grosz - Marshal Lefebvre (French Occupation, Trial Strike) 1809-1812 from Republic of Danzig (City of Danzig, Polish States) made of Silver weighing 1.90g is that it features an image of Marshal Lefebvre, a prominent French military leader, on one side, and an image of the Polish eagle on the other. This coin was minted during the French occupation of Danzig, and it is believed that only a small number of trial strikes were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
