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, and it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted as the standard design for the Polish currency. The coin's design, which includes an eagle with its wings spread wide and a pattern of 50 farthings (a small denomination coin) scattered throughout, was intended to symbolize the country's resistance against foreign occupation and its determination to maintain its independence. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
