In the lower portion of the field, the trial strike date notation 27/X appears to the left and 26 to the right, with the engraver's monogram MJ (for Wojciech Jastrzębowski) centered between them beneath the denomination, confirming this as a dated trial piece struck on 27 October 1926. |

| Additional information |
Poland's interwar coinage program involved extensive trial striking before final specifications were approved — this piece, with its punched date notation and "MJ" mint authorization mark, represents one of the documented pattern submissions evaluated before the circulating 2 Grosze type was fixed. The "27/X" notation indicates the specific submission date within the approval process, a bureaucratic fingerprint rarely preserved on surviving examples.
