The date of issue is positioned to the lower left, and the mint mark MW of the Mennica Polska appears in the lower field. The design follows the traditional Polish heraldic style used on bullion coinage of the Fourth Republic. |

| Additional information |
Poland's gold bullion eagle series launched in 1995 as Mennica Polska repositioned itself following the privatization process of the post-communist transition — one of the first sovereign bullion programs issued from a formerly state-controlled mint operating under a new commercial mandate. The quarter-ounce denomination anchored the lower end of the series, alongside 100 and 200 złoty issues in larger weights.
The .9999 fineness was a deliberate choice to compete with Canadian Maple Leaf standards at a time when four-nines gold was still a differentiator in the European bullion market.
