Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Grosze coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features an image of a stork, which is a symbol of Poland, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin features the denomination and the year of issue. The coin was minted as a trial strike in aluminum, which is a relatively rare metal for coins, and has a low mintage of only 10,000 pieces. This makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
