| Obverse description | Central field features the Polish state eagle displayed, with wings spread and head turned to dexter, rendered in a bold relief style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Polish coinage. Surrounding the eagle is a decorative inner border, beyond which a broad rim bears ten heraldic shields representing historical Polish cities and regions, arranged equidistantly around the circumference. The circular legend POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA arcs around the field, with the date 1966 and the mint mark MW incorporated into the inscription at the base. |

| Reverse description | Conjoined busts of Mieszko I and Dąbrówka facing one another in three-quarter profile, crowned, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail attributable to engraver Józef Gosławski. The denomination STO ZŁOTYCH is inscribed prominently across the upper field, flanked by the numerals 100 on either side in large format. Below the busts, the names MIESZKO and DĄBRÓWKA are separated by a cross, referencing the Christianisation of Poland in 966. The engraver's signature J GOSŁAWSKI and the trial designation PRÓBA appear in the lower field. |
