Interesting fact

This coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features a unique pattern that was never adopted as the official design for the Polish currency. Instead, it was used as a trial strike, and only a small number of coins were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
