Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Zlotys coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Cyprian Godebski, and features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, with the Polish coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1975 as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation and was instead produced as a test run to evaluate the quality of the coin's design and production process. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
