Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Czesław Słania, who is known for his work on various Polish coins and banknotes. This particular coin features an image of the Polish coat of arms on one side and a portrait of King Jan III Sobieski on the other. The coin was minted in 1989 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in a small quantity and was not intended for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and collectible item among numismatists.
