| Reverse description | At center, a stylized emblem depicting a seated figure reading an open book, rendered in a bold, graphic modernist style within a square frame. Above the book rests a circular element representing a head, composing a simplified human form engaged in study. This logo symbolizes the National Schools Aid Action campaign. The word PRÓBA appears in small letters below the central emblem, denoting trial strike status. The circular legend NARODOWY CZYN POMOCY SZKOLE flanks the design along the upper periphery, with the campaign dates 1984 - 1994 inscribed along the lower arc between two raised dots. |

| Additional information |
The National Schools Aid Action — known in Polish as Społeczny Fundusz Budowy Szkół — was a state-organized fundraising initiative through which Polish citizens contributed to school construction across the country. By the mid-1980s it had become a vehicle for commemorative numismatics, with the NBP issuing related pieces tied directly to the campaign. Trial strikes in nickel from this program were produced for internal approval purposes and rarely escaped the mint in any quantity.
The Fischer reference Po#P325a distinguishes this from at least one parallel trial variant, suggesting multiple composition or finish tests were conducted before a production decision was made.
