The Pattern 20 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Andrzej Nowakowski. The coin features an image of the Polish coat of arms on one side and a portrait of King Sigismund II Augustus on the other. The coin was minted in 1973 as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation and was only produced in small quantities for testing purposes. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
