| Reverse description | Large bold numeral 100 dominates the central field, with an oak sprig bearing leaves and acorns elegantly integrated into the interior of the first zero, serving as a decorative and patriotic motif. A pair of thin horizontal lines divides the field, below which the currency denomination ZŁOTYCH is inscribed in capital letters within a recessed panel running across the lower portion of the reverse. |

This piece falls at a hinge point in Polish monetary history. The communist-era People's Republic of Poland was dissolved on December 29, 1989, and coins bearing the old state name were still being produced and circulated well into 1990 while the new government scrambled to establish the Third Republic's identity. Rampant inflation had by then made the 100-złoty denomination nearly worthless in daily transactions — the government would eventually redenominate the entire currency in 1995, with 10,000 old złotych converting to a single new złoty.
