Comment
Grain backgroundInteresting fact
The Pattern 20 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Andrzej Nowakowski. The coin features an image of a stylized COMECON logo on the obverse, and the Polish coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1974 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), an economic organization of socialist states in Eastern Europe. The Pattern 20 Zlotys coin was a trial strike, meaning it was not officially released into circulation, but it was produced in small quantities for testing and presentation purposes. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
