Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Grosz Polski coin from the Russian Partition of Poland (1815-1835) is that it was designed by a Polish artist named Antoni Scholtz. Scholtz was a prominent artist and engraver who was commissioned by the Russian government to design the coin. The coin features an image of a crowned eagle on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. Despite being designed by a Polish artist, the coin was minted in St. Petersburg, Russia, and was used as a means of exerting Russian control over the Polish economy during the period of partition.
