Interesting fact

The 10 Groszy coin from Poland was designed by sculptor and medallist, Józef Aumiller. The coin features an image of a stork, which is a symbol of fertility and prosperity in Polish culture. The stork is also depicted carrying a fish in its beak, which represents the country's rich aquatic resources. The coin's design has remained unchanged since its introduction in 1990, and it continues to be a popular collector's item among numismatists.
