Interesting fact
The Pattern 100 Zlotys coin featuring Mikolaj Kopernik's bust was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Xawery Dunikowski. He was a prominent artist in Poland and his works include several sculptures, medals, and coins. This particular coin was minted in 1973 as a trial strike, which means it was not meant for circulation but rather as a test run to check the quality of the coin's design and production process. It's made of copper and weighs 11.10 grams.
