| Obverse description | At center, the Polish state emblem — the crowned White Eagle with wings spread, displayed within a recessed circular field. The eagle faces right, with detailed feather rendering and claws extended. Surrounding the central device, the circular legend reads 'POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA' (Polish People's Republic) along the upper arc, with the date '1973' at right and the mint mark 'MW' following. The denomination '100 ZŁ' appears in large characters across the lower portion of the coin, flanked by bullet separators, set against a flat raised rim. |

| Reverse description | A stylized, modernist effigy of Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik) dominates the field, rendered in bold low relief with flowing hair radiating outward in sweeping lines suggestive of movement and celestial orbits. The face is depicted in three-quarter view, gazing slightly upward and to the left, with simplified but expressive features characteristic of the sculptural style of Anna Jarnuszkiewicz. The inscription 'MIKOŁAJ KOPERNIK' arcs along the lower rim in large capital letters, while the word 'PRÓBA' (trial/pattern) appears in small capitals at the upper right of the field, identifying this piece as a proof trial strike. |
