Interesting fact
The Mikołaj Kopernik coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Stanisława Wątróbska-Frindt, and it features an image of the famous astronomer, Mikołaj Kopernik, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a stylized image of the Sun and the planets of the solar system. The coin was minted in 1979 as a trial strike, which means that it was not officially released into circulation, but rather produced as a test run to check the quality and design of the coin. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
