Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Groszy coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and it features an image of a crowned eagle on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the denomination and the country's name in Polish, "Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa" (People's Republic of Poland). The coin was minted in 1925 as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a test run to evaluate the quality of the coin's design and production process. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
