Interesting fact

The 5 Fenigów coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and features an image of a crowned eagle on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the denomination and the year of issue. It's worth noting that the coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Poland's history, as the country was struggling to regain its independence following the First World War. Despite this, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
