Interesting fact
The 2 Zlotys coin with the 2nd Eagle Design, minted between 1986 and 1988 in Poland, features an image of the Polish coat of arms on the obverse (front side), which includes a white eagle with a crown on its head, holding a scepter and an orb. The reverse (back side) of the coin features the denomination "2 Zł" and a stylized image of a plant, which is meant to symbolize the country's agricultural heritage. It's worth noting that the brass composition of the coin was a deliberate choice by the Polish government to reduce the cost of producing coins, as brass is a less expensive material than other metals. This decision was made during a time of economic hardship in Poland, and it was intended to help keep the cost of coin production manageable while still maintaining the coin's durability and quality.
