Obverse description The obverse presents a richly layered composition evoking the historical spirit of the Greater Poland Uprising. At center-left, the Polish state emblem — a crowned White Eagle — appears in relief against a background formed by the text of a patriotic proclamation, with the word 'BRACIA!' (Brothers!) prominently displayed in the field. To the right, a partially rendered figure of a Polish insurgent soldier stands beneath a stylized wing motif, accompanied by a heraldic lion of Greater Poland, all rendered in high-relief engraving. The denomination '200 ZŁ' is inscribed in the upper portion of the field. The legend 'RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA 2008' runs vertically along the left rim, with the mint mark 'MW' incorporated into the date area at the lower right.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a dynamic high-relief scene of mounted insurgent cavalry charging forward, swords raised and a flag carried aloft, evoking the military action of the 1918–1919 Greater Poland Uprising against German forces. The composition captures the motion and determination of the uprising's fighters in a bold, sculptural style. The numeral '90.' appears prominently in the lower field, denoting the ninetieth anniversary of the uprising. The curved legend 'ROCZNICA POWSTANIA WIELKOPOLSKIEGO' arcs along the upper periphery of the coin.
