Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Zlotys coin from Poland, minted in 1972, features an unusual design element - a blank space where the landmass of Poland would typically be depicted. This was intentionally left empty to symbolize the country's lack of access to the sea at the time, as the coin was minted during the period of Polish People's Republic. This unique design choice makes the coin stand out among other coins from Poland and adds to its collectible value.
