| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing draped bust of Casimir IV Jagiellon, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, occupying the center of the field. The king is depicted wearing a fur-trimmed royal cap and richly detailed robes, rendered in finely modeled high relief. The legend 'KAZIMIERZ IV JAGIELLOŃCZYK' is inscribed in two lines along the left side and across the lower portion of the field, with the regnal dates '1447–1492' positioned in the upper right field. The engraver's initial 'E' appears to the left of the bust. The design is set against a polished proof field with a plain raised rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Poland's Royal Series, this coin commemorates Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk, who ruled Poland and Lithuania from 1447 until his death in 1492 — the longest reign of any Jagiellonian monarch. His forty-five years on the throne encompassed the Thirteen Years' War against the Teutonic Knights, which ended with the Second Peace of Toruń in 1466 and returned Pomerania and Royal Prussia to the Polish Crown.
The 200,000 złoty denomination places this squarely in Poland's hyperinflationary final years before the 1995 redenomination, when the złoty was revalued at 10,000 old units to one new.
