| Obverse description | Centrally placed crowned Polish eagle displayed with wings spread, facing forward, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The denomination '10 ZŁ.' appears prominently below the eagle's breast, with the date '1925' struck in the lower field. The circular legend 'RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA' runs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The eagle's design reflects the official republican heraldic style adopted by interwar Poland, engraved by Wojciech Jastrzębowski. |

| Additional information |
Bank Polski commissioned multiple trial strikes for the 10 Złotych denomination in 1925 as Poland rebuilt its monetary infrastructure following the catastrophic hyperinflation that had destroyed the Polish mark — by 1924, the exchange rate had reached 1,800,000 marks to one new złoty. This bronze trial, designated the "B" variant, was never adopted for circulation; the production 10 Złotych would eventually be struck in silver.
Pattern pieces from this consolidation period are scarce precisely because most were retained by the mint or bank rather than dispersed, making survival outside institutional collections uncommon.
