Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Groszy coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Józef Aumiller, and features a unique blend of Polish and modernist influences. The obverse of the coin depicts the Polish coat of arms, while the reverse features a stylized image of a horse and rider, symbolizing strength and freedom. The use of nickel in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice, as it was a more durable and resistant material than other metals commonly used in coinage at the time. Despite being a trial strike, the Pattern 50 Groszy coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its unique design and historical significance.
