Reverse description A left-facing bust of a young peasant woman wearing a traditional folk headscarf fills the lower and central field, her flowing scarf extending toward the right in a dynamic Art Deco sweep. Stalks of grain (ears of wheat or rye) are suggested in the background to the left, evoking agrarian themes central to interwar Polish identity. The denomination 2 ZŁOTE is boldly inscribed in two lines across the upper field above the figure. The overall composition is spare and modernist, with strong lines characteristic of the period's decorative aesthetic. No mint mark appears on the standard issue; privy marks or mint letters are found on specific struck varieties.
