| Obverse description | Against a deeply mirrored proof field, a fragmented brick wall dominates the design, its stones scattered and partially crumbling to evoke destruction. Rising flames surge dramatically from the centre of the composition, symbolising the conflagration of the Ghetto Uprising. The Polish national eagle, rendered in relief, is positioned centrally amid the flames and broken masonry. The denomination '20 ZŁ' appears in the lower centre. The circular legend 'RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA 2008 MW' runs along the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A solitary, leafy tree rises from rocky ground at the centre of the composition, its bare lower trunk and spreading upper branches rendered in fine relief against a detailed brick wall background, evoking the ghetto's enclosure. To the right of the tree, a Star of David is prominently depicted against the wall, serving as the principal commemorative symbol. The lower segment of the field bears a two-line inscription in relief. The overall design conveys themes of remembrance, resilience, and loss. |
