| Obverse description | The Polish state eagle of the People's Republic — a stylised crowned eagle with wings displayed, rendered in high relief at centre — occupies the majority of the field. The date 1982 is divided by the eagle's tail feathers, with '19' to the left and '82' to the right. The denomination '100 ZŁ' appears in large numerals along the lower portion of the field. The circular legend 'POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA' runs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The mint mark 'MW' (Mennica Warszawska) is positioned below the eagle. |

| Reverse description | A naturalistic, finely detailed depiction of a white stork (Ciconia ciconia) standing in profile facing right, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The bird stands on one leg amid low ground vegetation — tufts of grass and reeds rendered along the lower field — conveying its wetland habitat. The legend 'OCHRONA ŚRODOWISKA' (Environmental Protection) arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals, part of Poland's celebrated commemorative wildlife series. The overall composition is balanced and naturalistic, reflecting the engraving style of Stanisława Wątróbska-Frindt. |
