Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and sculptor, Antoni Madeyski, and features an image of a woman representing Poland, surrounded by symbols of the November Uprising, such as a raised flag and a broken chain. The coin was minted in 1930 as a trial strike, but it was never officially released into circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
