Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Andrzej Nowakowski, and features an image of a stylized dove on the obverse side, symbolizing peace and unity among the member states of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), also known as the Soviet Bloc. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Poland, surrounded by a wreath of wheat and oak leaves. The coin was minted in 1974 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of COMECON, and only 10,000 trial strike coins were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
