Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Fenigów coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and it features a unique pattern that includes a stylized eagle and the number 10 on one side, and the Polish coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1918, during the time of the Polish People's Republic, and it was intended to be used as a circulating coin. However, due to the political and economic instability of the time, the coin was never widely circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
