Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 100 Zlotys (Polish Millennium bust; Trial Strike) 1966 from Poland is that it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted as the standard design for the 100 złoty coin. The coin features a portrait of Mieszko I, the first ruler of Poland, on the obverse, and a depiction of the Polish Millennium monument on the reverse.
