| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing crowned effigy of King Kazimierz Wielki (Casimir the Great) occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with fine linear detail on the crown and hair. Surrounding the portrait, the commemorative inscription 'SZEŚĆSET LECIE UNIWERSYTETU JAGIELLOŃSKIEGO' is arranged in an incuse block lettering style divided across the left and right fields, referencing the 600th anniversary of the Jagiellonian University. The founding year '1364' appears at lower left and the commemorative year '1964' at lower right. Along the lower arc, within a recessed banner, the name 'KAZIMIERZ WIELKI' is inscribed in bold incuse letters. |

| Additional information |
Poland's 1964 commemorative program marked the 600th anniversary of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, founded by Kazimierz III in 1364 — one of the oldest universities in Central Europe. This trial strike, with its legends incuse rather than raised, represents a documented die test from that production run, catalogued separately by Fischer and Parchimowicz precisely because the incuse variant was never approved for circulation release.
NBP trial pieces from this decade are genuinely scarce; most were retained internally or destroyed after evaluation.
