| Reverse description | At centre, a finely detailed depiction of a White-tailed Eagle (Bielik, Haliaeetus albicilla) in full flight, wings broadly outstretched, rendered in high relief against a stippled field. The circular legend FAUNA NADODRZA - BIELIK arcs along the upper periphery, referencing the Oder River fauna. The denomination 5 NURTÓW appears in the lower field beneath the eagle, accompanied by a stylised wave motif symbolising the river, identifying this token as a local ducat of the Gmina Kołbaskowo community currency programme. |

| Additional information |
Gmina Kołbaskowo introduced its local currency scrip in 2008 as part of a broader Polish municipal voucher movement that gained traction in the early 2000s, allowing small communes to stimulate local commerce outside the national monetary system. The "nurt" denomination — unique to Kołbaskowo — takes its name from the Oder River currents that define the commune's geography along the German border.
