| Obverse description | Centrally placed, the crowned Polish White Eagle — the national emblem — faces right with wings spread, rendered in a stylised heraldic manner. The circumferential legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs along the upper rim, while the mint mark 'MW' and the date of issue appear in the lower field flanking the eagle's talons. The design is executed in low relief against a flat field. |

| Additional information |
The Third Polish Republic's coinage was introduced in stages following the 1989 transition from communism, with denominations redenominated at 10,000 old złotych to one new złoty under a 1994 reform that formally took effect January 1, 1995. Coins dated 1990 through 1994 are technically pre-reform issues circulating in a country that had not yet legally completed its monetary overhaul.
The long production run from Mennica Polska reflects a stable small-denomination piece that required little modification across nearly three decades — Warsaw's mint adjusted planchet sourcing periodically but made no substantive changes to the type.
