Interesting fact
The 5 Groszy coin from 1949 was the first coin to feature the image of a Polish king, King Sigismund II Augustus, on its obverse side. This was a significant departure from the previous designs of Polish coins, which had typically featured images of eagles, stars, or other national symbols. The inclusion of a king's image on the coin was seen as a way to emphasize Poland's rich history and cultural heritage.
