| Obverse description | Central device features the Polish state eagle of the Polish People's Republic, displayed with spread wings and a shield on its breast bearing the Roman numeral XX, denoting the twentieth anniversary of the Polish People's Republic. The eagle is rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Polish coinage design. The circular legend reads POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA, interrupted by a raised dot at each cardinal point, with the date 1964 positioned in the lower portion of the field and the inscription XXI appearing alongside. The lettering is in upright Latin characters and the reeded edge is visible at the rim. |

| Additional information |
Poland's 1964 coinage program was entangled in the political pressures of the Polish People's Republic, with the National Bank navigating between Soviet-aligned monetary policy and domestic commemorative ambitions. Trial strikes from this period were produced in multiple compositions and finishes before final approval — the Fischer and ParM references here point to a well-documented proof series that saw considerable variant testing before any design reached circulation.
