Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and features a depiction of the Greek goddess Nike (Victory) on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the Polish coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1928 as a trial strike, which means it was not officially released into circulation, but rather produced 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 minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
