Interesting fact
The Freighter Waryński, which is featured on the coin, was a Polish ship that was used to transport goods and people during the communist era in Poland. The ship was named after a Polish sailor and communist activist, Franciszek Waryński, who was executed by the Nazis during World War II. The inclusion of the Freighter Waryński on the coin is a nod to Poland's maritime history and its importance in the country's economy and trade during that time.
