Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Grosz coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features an image of a stork, which is a symbol of Poland, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin features the denomination and the year of issue. The coin was minted in 1949 as a trial strike, and only a small number of coins were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
