Interesting fact

The Fryderyk Chopin 500,000 Zlotys coin was minted in 1990 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the composer's death. It features a portrait of Chopin on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. The coin's face value is 500,000 Zlotys, which was a significant amount at the time, equivalent to about $2,500 USD. However, due to its rarity and the fact that it's made of gold, its value has increased significantly over time, and it's now considered a valuable collector's item.
