Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Groszy coin is that it was minted during the German occupation of Poland during World War II, specifically in 1938. The coin was designed to be used as a substitute for the Polish złoty, which was the official currency of Poland at the time. However, the coin was never officially released into circulation and was instead kept as a trial strike, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
