| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a sculptural relief of the Frédéric Chopin Memorial in Warsaw, designed by Wacław Szymanowski, showing the torso and upward-gazing face of the composer sheltered beneath a stylized willow tree with dramatically windswept foliage occupying the upper field. The Polish crowned eagle coat of arms appears to the upper left. The curved legend 'RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA' runs along the left and lower edges, with the date '2005' and denomination '10 ZŁ' inscribed along the lower right, all set within the distinctive fan-shaped flan with a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features two Japanese red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis) depicted in dynamic flight, their wings fully spread and detailed feathering rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. A stylized bonsai pine tree occupies the left background, while radiating lines suggesting a rising sun fan outward from the lower center — an allusion to the Expo 2005 Aichi theme of nature's wisdom. The inscription 'EXPO' appears to the left, with '2005 AICHI' along the lower right edge, all contained within the fan-shaped format of the coin. |
