| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the Polish white eagle displayed, with wings spread and head turned to the right, wearing a crown; the eagle is rendered in high relief with detailed feathering. The circular legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1938 appears in the lower field beneath the eagle's talons, flanked by small decorative stars serving as mint marks. The design is characteristic of the interwar Polish republican coinage style, without the ornamental oak leaf sprigs found on the standard circulation type. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, simplified design featuring the large denomination numeral '50' occupying the upper two-thirds of the field in prominent incuse outline style. Below the numeral, the word GROSZY is inscribed in capital letters across the centre, with the trial designation PRÓBA appearing in smaller capitals along the lower margin. Notably absent are the decorative oak and laurel leaf sprigs flanking the numeral that appear on related pattern types, giving this variety its distinctive plain appearance. The overall composition is stark and modernist in character, consistent with the experimental nature of this trial strike. |
