| Obverse description | The obverse features the crowned Polish White Eagle displayed with wings spread, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, serving as the state emblem of the Polish People's Republic. The date 1980 is divided on either side of the eagle's lower body, with '19' to the left and '80' to the right. The denomination '100' appears prominently in large numerals at the bottom of the field, flanked by the currency abbreviations 'ZŁ' on each side. The circular legend 'POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA' arcs along the upper periphery, identifying the issuing state. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized artistic composition commemorating the XXII Olympic Games, depicting a gymnast performing on gymnastic rings rendered in flowing linear forms against a dark field. The five interlocking Olympic rings appear to the right of the central design, and the composition is framed by a partial rectangular border on the left and lower sides. The legend 'IGRZYSKA' runs vertically along the left border, while 'XXII•OLIMPIADY' arcs along the lower portion of the field. The word 'PRÓBA' (meaning 'trial' or 'pattern') is inscribed in the exergue, confirming the piece's status as a proof trial strike. |
