| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized relief map of Poland rendered with a rough, textured surface, occupying the majority of the coin's field and suggesting the geographic outline of the country. Centered upon the map is a square cartouche containing the inscription XXX / LAT / PRL in bold, serif Roman characters arranged in three lines, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Polish People's Republic. The word PRÓBA (meaning 'trial' or 'pattern') appears vertically along the right inner border, identifying the piece as a pattern strike. The engraver's initials J M-N are visible in small characters near the lower rim. The composition is bold and graphic, reflecting the monumental commemorative design sensibility of 1970s Polish numismatic art. |
