| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed representation of a traditional Japanese temple complex, its multi-tiered pagoda-style rooflines rendered with fine engraving detail across the lower field. Rising behind the architecture, the stylised silhouette of Mount Fuji dominates the background, accompanied by cherry blossom branches in the upper left. The inscription 'EXPO' appears in bold lettering at the upper left, with '2005' integrated into the design and 'AICHI' beneath, referencing the 2005 World Exposition held in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The composition employs a layered, ukiyo-e-inspired aesthetic that harmonizes the architectural and natural elements. The field displays a frosted proof finish contrasting with the polished background. |

| Additional information |
Poland's 2005 World Exposition in Aichi, Japan — themed "Nature's Wisdom" — was the first held in Asia since Osaka 1970. Poland participated as part of a broader post-EU-accession push to raise its international profile; the country had joined the European Union just one year earlier, in May 2004, and the Aichi pavilion was partly a diplomatic exercise in reintroducing Poland to global audiences under that new political identity.
