| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold heraldic composition dominated by the crowned White Eagle of Poland — the Mazovian or Senate eagle — depicted in high relief at the left of the field. To the right stands a stylised architectural element representing the Senate mace or sceptre, flanked by a fleur-de-lis finial at the top, with a genuine Baltic amber cabochon set into the shaft of the mace as an inlay, glowing with a warm golden hue. The legend '15-LECIE SENATU III RP' is inscribed in the left field, arcing along the rim, commemorating the 15th anniversary of the reestablishment of the Polish Senate of the Third Republic. The finely frosted proof surfaces provide strong contrast against the polished field. |

| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the Senate of the reestablished Polish Republic, this coin incorporates genuine Baltic amber — a material with deep regional significance, as Poland and the surrounding Baltic coast have historically dominated global amber supply. The amber inclusion is set into the coin during striking, a technically demanding process that limits production consistency and makes fully intact examples harder to find than mintage figures alone suggest.
