| Obverse description | The quartered shield of arms of Gmina Osina occupies the central field, depicting in the dexter half a passant lion and in the sinister half a tree above two fish arranged in pale. The legend 'GMINA OSINA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription 'HONOROWANY DO 15.06.2009' curves along the lower periphery, indicating the token's validity period. The design is rendered in a clean, low-relief milled style typical of modern Polish local coinage. |

| Additional information |
Gmina Osina's "5 Tropów" series was a locally issued complementary currency from a small rural commune in West Pomerania, Poland, designed to circulate within a defined area as a promotional and community-building instrument. The boar (dzik) entry is one of five denominations in the set, each named for a local woodland animal track.
These pieces were never legal tender and saw limited actual circulation, which keeps most examples in near-mint condition.
