Interesting fact

The Pattern 100 Zlotys (Interkosmos '78; Trial Strike) 1978 from Poland is a rare coin that features an error in its design. The coin was minted with an incorrect reverse die, which resulted in a misprinted image of the Polish coat of arms. Specifically, the eagle's wings are depicted as being too long and stretching beyond the edges of the coin, whereas on the correct version, the wings are shorter and do not extend beyond the coin's rim. This error makes the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
