Interesting fact

The 5 Groszy coin from the Russian Partition of Poland (Polish States) featuring Nikolai I, which was minted between 1826 and 1840, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse side features an image of the Russian Emperor Nikolai I, while the reverse side features the Polish eagle, which was a symbol of the Polish state. This combination of Russian and Polish imagery reflects the complex political history of the region during that time, with Poland being partitioned and occupied by various foreign powers, including Russia. This coin is a tangible reminder of the cultural and political blending that occurred during this period in history.
