Obverse lettering POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA 19 81 mw • ZŁ 20 ZŁ •
Reverse description A detailed depiction of the Church of the Virgin Mary (Kościół Mariacki) in Kraków occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief with the characteristic asymmetric twin towers rising prominently above the Gothic nave and surrounding architecture. The word 'PRÓBA' (trial/pattern) appears in small incuse lettering in the lower right field, confirming the piece's status as a trial strike. The circular legend 'CRACOVIA TOTIUS POLONIAE URBS CELEBERRIMA' — meaning 'Kraków, the most celebrated city of all Poland' — runs along the full periphery in raised Latin lettering, interrupted at center top by the church towers.
