Reverse description Central device depicts a large adult brown bear (Ursus arctos) walking to the left in profile, rendered in finely detailed high relief, accompanied by a smaller bear cub following closely behind to the right. The legend OCHRONA is inscribed in bold letters along the upper arc of the field, while ŚRODOWISKA curves along the lower arc, together forming the phrase meaning 'Environmental Protection.' The word PRÓBA, indicating the trial or pattern status of the strike, appears in smaller letters in the lower central field beneath the bears. The plain field provides an uncluttered background that accentuates the naturalistic rendering of the wildlife motif. The design is the work of engraver Tadeusz Tchórzewski.
