Interesting fact

The Pattern 200 Zlotys coin features an image of Duke Mieszko I, the first ruler of Poland, on its obverse side.

The coin's reverse side features the Polish coat of arms and the denomination of 200 zlotys. It's worth noting that the Pattern 200 Zlotys coin was minted as a trial strike, which means that it was not intended for circulation and was instead produced as a sample or a proof coin.
