Interesting fact
The Nike coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and it features an image of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin features the Polish coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1928 as a trial strike, and only 31 coins were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
