| Obverse description | The Polish state eagle displayed with wings spread, rendered in high relief at center, facing right with head turned to dexter.

| Reverse description | A stylized modernist portrait of Maria Skłodowska-Curie in left-facing profile occupies the center of the field, her hair swept upward in a chignon, rendered with bold linear engraving characteristic of Jarnuszkiewicz's sculptural style. Superimposed over the bust is an abstract geometric cross-form composed of parallel horizontal and diagonal lines, evoking radiant energy and alluding to her discovery of radioactivity. The chemical symbol 'Ra' for radium appears in the upper right field. The inscription 'PRÓBA' is incuse to the right, denoting the trial strike status of this piece. The legend 'MARIA SKŁODOWSKA CURIE' arcs along the lower periphery in capital letters. |
