| Obverse description | The obverse features a split composition blending modern technological motifs with traditional Polish state symbolism. On the left half, a stylized circuit board and binary code pattern incorporating the number 1800 are rendered in high relief against a frosted field, evoking digital banking and financial technology. On the right half, the Polish Eagle — the crowned national emblem — is displayed in the center field, surrounded by a geometric, pixel-like radial pattern suggestive of modern data processing. The legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs along the upper right rim, with the denomination 10 ZŁ at the bottom center and the date 2019 along the lower right, and the mint mark MW appears to the left of the denomination. |

PKO Bank Polski traces its founding to February 1919, when the newly reconstituted Polish state — barely weeks old after 123 years of partition — established the Pocztowa Kasa Oszczędności to mobilize domestic savings and stabilize a monetary system built from scratch. The bank survived Nazi occupation, postwar nationalization, and the Communist-era transformation into a state savings institution before privatizing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2004, making it one of the more consequential institutional survivors of twentieth-century Central European history.
