Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Zlotys coin features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing the image of Madonna and Child, which was not commonly seen on Polish coins at that time. This design was intended to symbolize the country's strong Catholic heritage and was a departure from the more traditional designs seen on previous Polish coins.
