Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Grosze coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features an image of a crowned eagle on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the denomination and the year of issue. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted using a trial strike, which means that it was not officially released into circulation and was instead produced as a test run to evaluate the quality of the dies and the striking process. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
