| Obverse description | The Polish imperial eagle with spread wings, crowned and facing right, occupies the central field. The denomination 'ZŁ 1000 ZŁ' is rendered in large numerals along the lower portion of the coin. The circular legend 'POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA' arcs around the upper periphery, while the date '19 86' is divided by the eagle's talons on either side. The mint mark 'MW' appears in small letters beneath the eagle. The design is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, characteristic of the Mennica Polska's trial strike production. |

| Reverse description | A three-quarter length portrait of Władysław I Łokietek (Władysław the Elbow-high), King of Poland, dominates the central field. The monarch is depicted crowned, wearing royal regalia including an ermine-trimmed mantle, and holds a sceptre in his right hand. The circular legend 'WŁADYSŁAW I ŁOKIETEK 1320-1333' arcs around the upper periphery, denoting his reign dates. The word 'PRÓBA' (trial) appears in the left field, identifying this as a pattern strike. The finely modelled portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored background, reflecting the skilled artistry of engraver Ewa Olszewska-Borys. |
