Interesting fact

The Pattern 100 Zlotys coin from Poland, minted in 1977, features a unique design element - the date on the right side of the coin is written in a cursive script, which is a departure from the standard numerical date format used on most coins. This design choice was made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Henryk Sienkiewicz, a renowned Polish writer and Nobel laureate, who was born in 1846. The use of cursive script for the date is a nod to Sienkiewicz's literary works, which are known for their historical and cultural significance.
