Interesting fact
This coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features a unique pattern that was never adopted as the official design for the 10 złoty coin. The pattern features a stylized image of a farmer and a wheat sheaf on the obverse, and the Polish coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted as a trial strike in 1971, but it was never released into circulation, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
