Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Zloty coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Cyprian Godebski, and features an image of a crowned eagle on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears an image of the Polish coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1977 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in a small quantity for testing purposes and not intended for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
