Interesting fact
This coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz, who was also responsible for designing several other coins and medals for the Polish mint. The coin features a unique design that showcases the theme of the 1980 Summer Olympics, which was held in Moscow, Russia. The obverse of the coin features a stylized image of a runner, while the reverse features the coat of arms of Poland surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin was minted as a trial strike, which means that it was produced in a small quantity and was not intended for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
