| Reverse description | A detailed view of the Baroque Potocki Palace in Radzyń Podlaski dominates the upper portion of the reverse, rendered with fine architectural detail including its central tower and flanking wings. In the foreground, a sculptural group of reclining allegorical figures — referencing the famous Baroque sculpture originally decorating the palace grounds — is depicted in high relief. The inscription PAŁAC POTOCKICH arcs along the upper border, and the legend RADZYŃ PODLASKI appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Radzyń Podlaski's Potocki Palace is one of the finest Rococo complexes in Poland, commissioned by Eustachy Potocki in the 1750s and designed by Jakub Fontana. The building survived the Partitions but suffered heavily under Nazi occupation, when it was used as a German administrative center and stripped of much of its contents.
This coin belongs to the long-running "Historic Sites of Poland" series launched by NBP in the 1990s — a program that accelerated significantly after 1995 when Nordic gold became the house composition for the denomination.
