Interesting fact

The 50 Groszy 1949 coin was the first coin to be issued by the Polish People's Republic after World War II. It was designed by sculptor and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features an image of a stylized eagle on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the denomination and the year of issue. The coin was minted in aluminum, which was a common material used for coinage in Poland during that time, and has a weight of 1.6 grams. Despite its relatively low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
