Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Grosz - Nikolai I (Trial Strike; large eagle Jeden Grosz) 1840-1841 from Russian Partition of Poland (Polish States) made of Copper weighing 2.86 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Poland. The Russian Partition of Poland, which took place in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, saw the country divided and annexed by neighboring powers, including Russia. This coin was minted during the reign of Nicholas I, who was the Emperor of Russia from 1825 to 1855 and was known for his conservative and autocratic policies. The coin's design, featuring a large eagle and the denomination "Jeden Grosz," reflects the influence of Russian currency on the Polish states during this time. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
