Interesting fact

This coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Stanisława Wątróbska-Frindt, who was known for her work on various coins and medals during the communist era in Poland. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of a young woman, representing the spirit of Nowa Huta, a new town built near Kraków during the 1950s and 1960s. The reverse depicts a stylized image of the Nowa Huta steelworks, which was a symbol of the town's industrialization and economic growth. The coin's design was meant to reflect the theme of "youth and progress," highlighting the idea of a bright future for the young town and its residents.
