Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features a depiction of the freighter ship, SS Waryński, on its obverse side. The ship was named after a Polish shipowner and philanthropist, Antoni Waryński, who was instrumental in the development of Poland's maritime trade in the early 20th century. The coin's reverse side features the Polish coat of arms and the denomination. It's worth noting that the Pattern 5 Zlotys coin was a trial strike, meaning that it was not officially released into circulation and was only produced in small quantities for testing and evaluation purposes. As a result, it is considered a rare and collectible item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
