| Reverse description | A stylized eagle rendered in a modernist, abstract design featuring radiating linear striations emanating from the central motif, evoking rays of light or a sunburst. The eagle's head faces right at the apex of the composition, with the body formed by geometric feather-like bands and two lightning-bolt elements at either side. The inscription 40-LECIE PRL is positioned along the lower field, with the trial mark PRÓBA appearing to the right of the legend below the central device. |

| Additional information |
Poland's 40th anniversary commemoratives of 1984 were produced under the Polish People's Republic just as the Solidarity movement had been driven underground following martial law — a political atmosphere that made state-issued celebration coins an awkward proposition at best. Trial strikes for this series exist in multiple metal and alloy combinations, with the .625 silver specification distinguishing this piece from the standard .750 fine issues that reached collectors through Pewex, the state's hard-currency export network. Fischer and ParM references diverge slightly on the classification, suggesting some ambiguity in how the trial sequence was documented at the time of striking.
