Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Zloty coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Stanisława Wątróbska-Frindt, who was one of the first women to design coins for the Polish mint. The coin features an image of a woman on the obverse side, which was a departure from the traditional male-dominated designs seen on coins at the time. The coin's design was meant to commemorate the International Year of Women, which was declared by the United Nations in 1975 to promote gender equality and women's rights. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and those interested in women's history.
