Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Groszy coin is that it was minted during the German occupation of Poland during World War II, and it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted for circulation. Instead, the coin was only produced as a trial strike, and it lacks the hole that is typically found in coins of this denomination. This makes it a rare and interesting piece of numismatic history.
