| Obverse description | At center, the crowned Polish eagle displayed with wings spread, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The eagle faces dexter and bears no shield on its breast, consistent with the republican arms of the Second Polish Republic. The circular legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1925 is inscribed in the lower field beneath the eagle's talons. No mint mark is present, and the rim bears no decorative device, distinguishing this trial strike from other known varieties. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an allegorical scene commemorating the Polish Constitution of March 1921: a crowned, robed female figure personifying Poland, seated on a throne-like plinth, extends a scroll inscribed KONSTYTUCJA toward a standing young armored knight who receives it with both hands. At lower left, a sheaf of grain and a sickle symbolize agricultural prosperity. The entire central composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle of 81 beads. The denomination legend PIĘĆ ZŁOTYCH appears in the lower exergual area, flanked on each side by the numeral 5. |

| Additional information |
The March Constitution commemoratives of 1925 were struck to mark the fourth anniversary of Poland's 1921 constitution — the document that formally structured the reborn republic after over a century of partition. Trial strikes in this series were produced in multiple configurations to test die alignment, bead count, and edge treatments before authorizing the production run, making no-mintmark, no-rim-sign variants essentially working proofs of the approval process rather than coins intended for any distribution channel.
