| Obverse description | The Polish state eagle — the crowned, spread-winged emblem of the Polish People's Republic without a crown on its head — occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief with detailed feathering and a shield on the breast. The date 19-76 is divided by the eagle's talons in the lower field, flanked by the mint mark MW. The circular legend POLSKA • RZECZPOSPOLITA • LUDOWA arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination • ZŁ 500 ZŁ • is displayed prominently across the lower field in large, bold numerals. |

| Reverse description | A stylised left-facing bust portrait of Tadeusz Kościuszko dominates the central field, depicting the Polish and American military hero in contemporary artistic style with flowing hair and a military collar. The portrait is rendered in a clean, modernist graphic manner characteristic of Polish commemorative coinage of the 1970s. The inscription TADEUSZ • KOŚCIUSZKO arcs along the upper right periphery, while the birth and death years 1746 • 1817 curve along the lower right. The word PRÓBA (meaning 'trial' or 'pattern') appears vertically along the left field, identifying this piece as a trial strike. |
