| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Polish state eagle — the crowned white eagle with wings spread, talons extended, and head turned to the right — rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The date 1980 is divided on either side of the eagle's body, with '19' to the left and '80' to the right. The circular legend 'POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The denomination '200' in bold numerals, flanked by the abbreviation 'ZŁ' on each side, appears prominently along the lower rim. The design is consistent with the standard People's Republic of Poland heraldic type of the era. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized depiction of a cross-country skier in dynamic forward motion, rendered in a modernist linear design that conveys speed and athleticism. To the right of the central figure, the official Lake Placid 1980 Winter Olympics emblem — comprising the five Olympic rings above a stylized graphic of a ski jump and snowflakes — is shown in relief. The word 'PRÓBA' (trial/pattern) appears vertically along the right inner border, identifying this as a pattern strike. A three-line inscription in the lower field reads 'XIII·ZIMOWE·IGRZYSKA OLIMPIJSKIE / LAKE·PLACID·N·Y / 1980', denoting the XIII Winter Olympic Games held in Lake Placid, New York. |
