| Reverse description | The field presents a finely modeled bust of a young peasant woman, her head inclined slightly downward in three-quarter left-facing profile, wearing a traditional folk cap. Stalks of grain (ears of wheat) rise prominently to the left of the figure, while she holds additional ears in her right hand to the right, evoking agrarian themes central to interwar Polish iconography. The denomination 2 ZŁOTE is inscribed in large characters along the upper arc of the legend. The word PRÓBA, denoting trial or pattern status, appears in small capitals in the lower right field. The overall artistic style reflects the Art Deco influence prevalent in Polish coinage design of the 1920s. |

| Additional information |
The 2 Złote denomination was a priority for interwar Poland's new coinage system, and the mint ran multiple trial compositions before settling on silver for the circulating type. This brass trial — catalogued as the second trial strike variant — represents one of several rejected material tests from 1927, a period when the Mennica Polska was still establishing its production standards under the restored republic. The circulating silver version entered production the same year.
