| Obverse description | The Polish state emblem — a crowned white eagle with wings displayed, talons extended, and head turned to the right — occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief. Flanking the eagle at the lower left and right are stylised horizontal bands suggesting a landscape or horizon. The circular legend 'RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, with the mint mark 'MW' appearing on the eagle's breast. Below the eagle, the date '1993' and the denomination '20000 ZŁ' are inscribed in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a naturalistic scene from the family Hirundinidae: a swallow in dynamic flight approaches a mud nest attached to a rough stone or wooden surface in the upper left, where several nestlings with open beaks await feeding. The adult bird is portrayed with characteristic forked tail and swept-back wings, rendered in fine engraved detail. A horizontal band of textured stonework or timber occupies the upper register of the field. The two-line inscription 'JASKÓŁKI / HIRUNDINIDAE' is engraved along the lower right arc of the coin in Latin characters. |
