Interesting fact

This coin was minted in 1974 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), an economic organization of communist states in Eastern Europe. The coin features an image of the COMECON emblem on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. It was minted as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation and was instead produced as a sample or proof coin. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
