Comment
Coin without the inscription Próba stamped on a copper disc. Spectrographic analysis made at the Hall of Assay in Warsaw, Cu .990 - Antykwariat Numizmatyczny - Michał NiemczykInteresting fact
The Pattern 5 Groszy coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features a unique pattern on the reverse side, which includes the denomination "5 Groszy" surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. This design was intended to be used as a trial strike for a potential new coinage system in Poland, but it was ultimately not adopted for circulation. As a result, the Pattern 5 Groszy coin is a rare and collectible item, with only a limited number of trial strikes produced.
