Interesting fact
The Pattern Grosz koronny was a proposed coinage system that was never implemented, but the coins that were minted as patterns are now highly sought after by collectors. The coin features a portrait of Stanisław August Poniatowski, the last king of Poland, on one side and the Polish coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Poland, as the country was struggling to maintain its independence in the face of growing pressure from neighboring powers. Despite the fact that the coin was never widely circulated, it remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
