| Reverse description | A powerfully modeled male athlete in the act of hammer throwing dominates the center of the field, depicted in vigorous motion with the hammer ball visible at the top of the swing above his head. The composition incorporates stylized elements referencing Rio de Janeiro, including a sinuous tropical motif along the right field suggestive of Brazilian ornamental design. The five-ring Olympic symbol appears prominently in the upper right. The curved legend POLSKA REPREZENTACJA OLIMPIJSKA RIO 2016 runs along the lower and left rim, framing the athletic figure. The overall design conveys movement and competitive energy in a bold relief style. |

| Additional information |
Poland's 2016 Olympic program at Rio yielded 11 medals, the country's best Summer Games result since Athens 2004. The Mint of Poland issued this piece as part of its long-running collector series tied to Polish Olympic participation — a program that dates back decades and reliably attracts domestic subscribers more than secondary-market buyers.
Mintages for these issues tend to be tightly controlled, with most runs capped in the low thousands.
