Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Groszy coin was minted during the German occupation of Poland during World War II, and it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted as the standard coinage for Poland. Instead, it was a trial strike, meaning that it was created as a test or sample coin, and only a limited number were produced. This makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Polish currency.
