Interesting fact

The Mikołaj Kopernik coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Stanisława Wątróbska-Frindt, and it features an image of the famous astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of the solar system, with the Sun at the center and the planets orbiting around it. The coin was minted in 1973 as a trial strike, which means that it was not officially released into circulation and was instead kept as a sample or a proof coin. As a result, the mintage of this coin is extremely low, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
