Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Groszy - Nikolai I (Gold) 1840 from Russian Partition of Poland (Polish States) made of Gold (.917) is that it was designed by a renowned Russian engraver, Alexander I. Kokotov. Kokotov was a prominent artist and engraver who worked at the St. Petersburg Mint and was known for his expertise in creating detailed and intricate designs for coins and medals. His work on the Pattern 5 Groszy coin features a portrait of Tsar Nikolai I on one side and an image of the Polish eagle on the other, symbolizing the union between Russia and Poland. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea of a unified Russian-Polish state, but it was ultimately never adopted as an official coin due to political tensions between the two countries. Despite this, the Pattern 5 Groszy coin remains a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of Russian-Polish relations.
