Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Groszy coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and features a portrait of King Sigismund II Augustus on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Polish coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1929 as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a test run to evaluate the design and production process. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
