| Obverse description | Central field depicts a large wild boar (Sus scrofa) facing left in a naturalistic forest setting, accompanied by a smaller piglet beside it; coniferous trees rendered in relief occupy the right background. The legend MIASTKO arcs along the upper rim, while the inscription ZWIERZYNA ŁOWNA - DZIK curves along the lower left field, identifying the subject as game wildlife — specifically the wild boar. |

This piece belongs to Poland's regional token coinage boom of the 2000s, when hundreds of municipalities issued brass schilling-style notgeld as local commercial currency — partly as civic promotion, partly as a hedge against the zloty's exclusion from eurozone adoption debates. Miastko, a small town in Pomerania, issued several denominations denominated in "rummele," a unit with no legal tender status and no fixed exchange rate, redeemable only at participating local businesses. The boar reverse ties the issue to the surrounding Bytów County forests, historically significant hunting ground.
