Square ó in PRÓBA

Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Zlotys coin from Poland, minted in 1936, features a unique design element - a square hole in the center of the coin, known as the "Ag square ó". This hole was intended to help prevent counterfeiting, as it was difficult to replicate the intricate details of the square hole using the technology available at the time. This feature, combined with the coin's silver composition and limited mintage, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
