Interesting fact
The Mikolaj Kopernik coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Xawery Dunikowski, and it features a portrait of the famous Polish astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of the Sun and the planets, symbolizing Copernicus' groundbreaking heliocentric model of the solar system. This coin is particularly interesting because it was minted as a trial strike, which means that it was produced in a very limited quantity and was not intended for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists and collectors of Polish coins.
