Reverse description A female rhythmic gymnast is depicted in dynamic mid-performance pose at centre, executing a one-armed handstand on a balance beam with her legs split vertically, holding a ribbon hoop; the figure is rendered in finely frosted relief against a mirror-polished field evoking a night sky. The curved legend 'IGRZYSKA XXIII OLIMPIADY' runs along the upper periphery, with 'LOS ANGELES 1984' inscribed in the right field. The inscription 'PRÓBA' (meaning 'trial' or 'pattern') appears in the lower field, confirming the piece's status as a proof trial strike. A small engraver's mark is visible at lower right. The overall composition is dynamic and elegantly suited to the commemorative Olympic theme.
