| Obverse description | Centrally positioned, the Polish crowned White Eagle with wings spread, facing right, rendered in moderate relief against a plain field. The circumferential legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs around the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. The date 1949 appears in the lower field between two raised dots, flanking the base of the eagle. |

Poland's postwar coinage reform of 1949 involved extensive material testing as the new communist government sought cheap, domestically manageable alloys. Aluminium trials like this piece were struck alongside copper-nickel and iron candidates before final compositions were confirmed. The standard 10 Groszy ultimately issued that year went to aluminium — but not all trial specifications survived into production unchanged.
