| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, deeply modelled portrait bust of the Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin in right profile, rendered in a vigorous, expressionistic artistic style characteristic of mid-20th century Polish medallic art by engraver Anna Jarnuszkiewicz. The subject is depicted with flowing hair and strong facial features, the bust truncated at the shoulder. The legend 'FRYDERYK CHOPIN' is inscribed in relief along the upper right periphery in Latin letters. The portrait dominates the field, occupying nearly the full diameter of the coin in an assertive, sculptural composition with minimal background detail. |
