Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and features a depiction of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin features the Polish coat of arms and the denomination. The coin was minted in 1927 as a trial strike, and it is believed that only a small number of coins were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
