| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, realistically rendered portrait of a White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) in close-up profile, facing left, with the bird's head and upper neck occupying the majority of the coin's field. The plumage is rendered with exceptional precision, highlighting individual feather groups around the eye and beak. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading 100-LECIE ODZYSKANIA PRZEZ POLSKĘ NIEPODLEGŁOŚCI, commemorating the centenary of Poland's regained independence. The weight, purity, and metallic composition inscriptions 1/10 OZ and 999,9 Au appear in the left field, with the year and designer's initials DS also present. |

| Additional information |
Poland's white-tailed eagle coinage in gold occupies an unusual position in the National Bank of Poland's bullion program — issued across multiple years with consistent specifications, it functions as a fractional alternative to the larger 500 Zloty issues in the same series. The eagle has served as Poland's national symbol since the Piast dynasty, though its removal from the crown during the communist period and restoration in 1990 made its reappearance on post-transition coinage a deliberate political act rather than mere heraldic convention.
