| Obverse description | The obverse features a pattern of hexagonal honeycomb cells extending across the entire field, rendered in alternating gold-colored and frosted silver tones through selective coloring and laser frosting techniques. A large central hexagonal cell in the middle ground is left uncolored, forming a recessed mirror-finish panel bearing the inscriptions. The denomination and issuer legend are incused within this central hexagon in the right portion of the field. The Mint of Poland privy mark appears within a small hexagonal cell at lower center. |
