Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Zlotys coin featuring Fryderyk Chopin is a trial strike, which means it was not officially released into circulation. Instead, it was produced as a test run to evaluate the design and minting process. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
