Interesting fact

This coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Andrzej Nowakowski, and features an image of a stylized dove on the obverse, symbolizing peace and unity among the member states of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), which was a economic organization of communist states in Eastern Europe during the Cold War era. The reverse of the coin features the coat of arms of Poland, surrounded by a wreath of wheat and oak leaves, representing the country's rich agricultural heritage and its commitment to economic cooperation with other socialist states. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of Eastern European history.
