| Obverse description | Within a raised inner circle, the crowned White Eagle — national coat of arms of the Polish People's Republic — is depicted facing forward with wings spread, set against a recessed field. The outer annular band carries the circular legend POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA and the date 1973, while the denomination ZŁ 100 ZŁ is inscribed in large characters along the lower rim, flanked by raised dots. The mint mark MW appears in the lower field. The overall design presents a two-plane concentric layout characteristic of this series. |

| Reverse description | A large, stylized bust of Nicolaus Copernicus fills the entire field, rendered in a bold modernist manner by engraver Anna Jarnuszkiewicz, with flowing hair extending to the coin's rim as abstract linear elements. The face is depicted in near-frontal view with strong, simplified features characteristic of mid-20th-century Polish medallic art. The inscription MIKOŁAJ KOPERNIK curves along the lower rim in incuse lettering. The word PRÓBA (trial/proof) appears in the upper right field, identifying this piece as a pattern strike. |
