Reverse description A three-quarter facing bust of Queen Jadwiga (Hedwig I) of Poland dominates the central field, depicted wearing an elaborate royal crown adorned with fleurs-de-lis, rich jewelled regalia, and an ornate necklace, rendered in high sculptural relief. She holds a sceptre in her right hand, and additional royal attributes are visible to her left. The legend 'JADWIGA' curves along the upper left periphery, while the regnal dates '1384-1399' appear to the upper right. The word 'PRÓBA' (meaning 'trial' or 'pattern') is inscribed in the right field, identifying this piece as a pattern strike. The portrait is executed in a detailed, realistic style reflecting the high artistic quality associated with the engraving of Stanisława Wątróbska-Frindt.
