| Obverse description | At center, the crowned Polish eagle with wings spread, rendered in high relief against a mirror-field proof background. The eagle faces right and displays detailed feathering; a mint mark appears below the shield on the eagle's breast. The date is split to either side of the eagle's lower body, reading '19' to the left and '93' to the right. The circular legend 'RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA' arcs around the upper periphery in bold Latin characters, while the denomination 'ZŁ 200 000 ZŁ' is inscribed along the lower arc. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| 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.
