Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Groszy coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features an image of an ear of wheat and a hammer on the obverse side, symbolizing agriculture and industry, respectively. The reverse side of the coin features the denomination "50 Groszy" and the year "1958". What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted as a trial strike in aluminum, which was a rare occurrence for coins produced during the communist era in Poland. As a result, this coin is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
