Interesting fact

This coin was designed by Polish artist and engraver, Andrzej Nowakowski, and features an image of Bolesław I Chrobry, the first king of Poland, on its obverse side. The reverse side of the coin depicts the Polish coat of arms and the denomination of 50 złotys. The coin was minted as a trial strike in 1980, but it was never officially released into circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
