| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing bust portrait of Bolesław I Chrobry (Bolesław the Brave), first King of Poland, depicted wearing a crown decorated with fleur-de-lis motifs. The effigy is rendered in strong relief, showing the king with a prominent moustache and wearing a fur-trimmed royal mantle with an ornate clasp at the shoulder. The inscription 'BOLESŁAW I CHROBRY' arcs along the upper left periphery, followed by the regnal dates '992 - 1025' continuing to the upper right. The word 'PRÓBA' (meaning 'trial' or 'proof'), indicating the pattern status of the piece, appears in the right field. The portrait is executed in a formal, classicising style characteristic of Polish commemorative coinage of the period. |
