Obverse description The Polish state eagle displayed with wings spread occupies the central field, rendered in high relief against a smooth background. The date 1988 is divided by the eagle's body, with '19' appearing to the left and '88' to the right beneath the wings. The denomination 'ZŁ 200 ZŁ' is inscribed in large characters along the lower portion of the field. The circular legend 'POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA' runs along the outer rim from left to right.

Reverse description A stylised football rendered in low relief is positioned at the centre of the field, surrounded by concentric wave-like arcs radiating outward to suggest motion and dynamism, evoking both the trajectory of a ball and the energy of the game. The word 'PRÓBA' appears in the lower central field below the central design, denoting the trial strike status of this piece. The encircling legend 'XIV MISTRZOSTWA ŚWIATA W PIŁCE NOŻNEJ WŁOCHY - 1990' runs along the outer rim, commemorating the XIVth FIFA World Cup to be held in Italy in 1990. The mintmark 'E' is visible in the lower right portion of the inner field. The overall composition is clean and modernist in style, engraved by Ewa Tyc-Karpińska.
