Interesting fact

The Greater Poland Uprising coin from Poland, minted in 1988, has a unique feature. The coin's design includes an image of a Polish eagle, which is not typical for coins minted during the communist era in Poland. This is because the eagle was seen as a symbol of Polish nationalism and was often avoided in official state symbols during that time. However, the designer of the coin, Zygfryd Gardzielewski, managed to include the eagle in the design, which was a subtle way of expressing national pride and a nod to Poland's history and heritage.
