| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized composition of three elongated feather quills arranged diagonally across the field, their surfaces textured with intricate detail evoking the landscape and literary heritage of Poland. The crowned eagle, the national arms of the Republic of Poland, is positioned centrally in the lower portion of the field, rendered in high relief. The legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 ZŁ appears to the right and the date 2011 below it. The mint mark MW is incorporated discreetly within the design near the eagle. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely modeled bust of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet Czesław Miłosz in right-facing profile, depicted in old age with naturalistic detail and a contemplative expression. The background is divided between a frosted, horizontally lined pattern to the left and a deeply mirrored, dark field to the right, creating a dramatic contrast. A facsimile of Miłosz's personal signature is rendered in cursive script across the lower portion of the field, lending an intimate and biographical character to the design. The dates 1911-2004, indicating his birth and death years, are inscribed in the lower exergue. The engraver's initial R is visible at the lower right. |
