Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 500 Zlotys (XV Winter Olympics 1988; Trial Strike) 1987 from Poland is that it features a unique design that was not ultimately used for the final version of the coin. The trial strike features a different obverse design than the regular issue, with a portrait of a young woman in traditional Polish dress instead of the standard image of the Polish coat of arms. This makes it a rare and interesting variation for collectors.
