Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Groszy coin was designed to be a trial strike, meaning it was created as a test run to evaluate the quality of the dies and the striking process. However, due to an error in the die-making process, the coin was never officially released into circulation. As a result, only a small number of trial strikes were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
