The date 1981 is divided and positioned to either side of the eagle's body, with the mint mark MW incorporated beneath. The denomination 200 ZŁ appears in bold numerals in the lower portion of the field, flanked by the złoty sign on each side. The circular legend POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA runs along the upper periphery in Latin characters. The design exemplifies the official heraldic style of the Polish People's Republic period.

Reverse description A three-quarter facing effigy of Władysław I Herman, Duke of Poland, occupies the central field, depicted wearing a crown and heavy draped mantle in a romanesque style. He holds a sceptre in his right hand, with additional regal attributes visible at the lower field. The name WŁADYSŁAW I HERMAN is inscribed in two lines flanking the figure to left and right, with his reign dates 1079 and 1102 placed to either side of the portrait in the upper field. The word PRÓBA, denoting trial or pattern status, appears to the right of the figure. The overall composition reflects a dignified, historicist approach to royal portraiture characteristic of Polish commemorative issues of the era.
