Reverse description A finely detailed, naturalistically rendered chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) stands in full profile facing right at the centre of the field, posed upon rocky mountain terrain rendered in high relief. The background features a stylised depiction of mountain peaks rising behind the animal, evoking the Tatra range. The curved legend 'OCHRONA ŚRODOWISKA' (meaning 'Environmental Protection') arcs along the periphery, with 'OCHRONA' to the left and 'ŚRODOWISKA' to the right, in raised Latin characters. The overall composition reflects the naturalistic artistic style characteristic of Polish commemorative coinage of the period.
