| Reverse description | The Polish state eagle — a crowned, spread-winged white eagle with head turned to the right, displayed with detailed feather engraving — occupies the central field. The circular legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA (Republic of Poland) runs along the upper periphery. The denomination 1 ZŁOTY is inscribed in large letters across the lower field, with the date 1932 appearing in the exergual area between the eagle's talons. The design follows the established heraldic tradition of the Second Polish Republic. |

| Additional information |
Bank Polski commissioned trial strikes for the 1932 zloty redesign as part of a broader effort to rationalize the coinage following Poland's adherence to the Gold Exchange Standard in the late 1920s. The "2x próba" designation indicates a second-pattern trial — meaning at least one earlier striking was rejected before this composition and specification were tested. Pattern and trial pieces from Bank Polski during this period were struck in extremely limited numbers, almost entirely for internal evaluation and ministerial approval, and rarely escaped institutional hands.
