| Obverse description | The obverse features the Polish People's Republic eagle — a stylized crowned white eagle with wings spread, displayed at center, rendered in high relief against a mirror-like field. The date 1978 is divided on either side of the eagle's lower body, with '19' to the left and '78' to the right. The denomination '100 ZŁ' appears in large numerals at the bottom of the field, flanked by the 'ZŁ' currency abbreviation on each side. The circular legend 'POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA' arcs around the upper periphery. The mint mark 'MW' (Mennica Warszawska, Warsaw Mint) is incuse below the eagle's tail. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a front-facing portrait bust of Janusz Korczak (born Henryk Goldszmit, 22 July 1878 – 5 August 1942), the celebrated Polish-Jewish physician, pedagogue, and author, rendered in moderate relief. The legend 'JANUSZ KORCZAK' arcs along the upper periphery, with the birth and death years '1878 - 1942' inscribed below in the mid-field. The word 'PRÓBA' (meaning 'Trial' or 'Pattern') appears prominently in the lower field, identifying this piece as a trial strike. The portrait is executed in a realistic, medallic style consistent with the work of engraver Stanisława Wątróbska-Frindt. |
