Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Groszy coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features a unique pattern that was never used on any other Polish coin. The obverse of the coin depicts an eagle with its wings spread wide, while the reverse features a stylized image of a horse and rider. The coin was minted in 1925 as a trial strike, and only a small number of coins were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
