| Reverse description | A three-quarter perspective view of the Gothic brick Castle of the Warmian Bishops in Lidzbark Warmiński occupies the upper and central fields, depicting the main residential block with its characteristic corner towers topped by pointed roofs and decorative crosses. The castle is shown rising above a low surrounding wall, with a stylized tree rendered to the right. In the lower central field, the heraldic coat of arms of the Warmian Chapter — featuring the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) beneath a bishop's mitre and crossed croziers, supported by lions — is prominently displayed in relief. The legend ZAMEK W LIDZBARKU WARMIŃSKIM arcs along the lower periphery in Latin script. |

Part of the Nordic Gold collector series NBP launched in the mid-1990s, this issue commemorates the episcopal castle at Lidzbark Warmiński — the former residence of the Prince-Bishops of Warmia and one of the best-preserved Gothic castle complexes in Poland. Nicolaus Copernicus spent several years there in the early sixteenth century, working in the service of his uncle Bishop Łukasz Watzenrode.
