The figure is rendered in high relief with fine artistic detail characteristic of the Art Deco style. The circular legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs along the upper periphery of the coin, with the engraver's initials EW visible in small letters at the lower right of the design. |

| Additional information |
Poland's 1927 coinage program was conducted under the newly stabilized złoty, introduced in 1924 to replace the devastated German-era mark. Trial strikes like this piece — smooth-edged and lacking a mintmark — were produced at the Warsaw Mint during the design finalization process for the Nike series. The absence of a mintmark and smooth edge distinguish it from the issued coinage, which carried an edge inscription.
KM#Pn74 is among several documented pattern and trial variants from this period, reflecting the mint's methodical approval process before committing to full production dies.
