Reverse description The reverse depicts the bow of the Polish freighter Waryński in bold three-quarter perspective, dominating the lower and central field, with the ship's name 'WARYŃSKI' inscribed on the hull. Rigging, masts, and a crane are rendered in fine detail against a background suggesting clouds and a port or industrial skyline. The large denomination numeral '5' overlaid with the 'ZŁ' currency symbol occupies the lower foreground in prominent raised relief. The word 'PRÓBA' (trial/pattern) appears vertically along the left border, and the engraver's initials are visible in the lower right field.
