| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a right-facing portrait bust of Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyła), depicted wearing his papal zucchetto and clerical vestments, in a high-relief three-quarter profile. The portrait is set against a finely textured mosaic or basket-weave patterned background that fills the entire field, lending the design a distinctive artistic quality. The vertical inscription JAN PAWEŁ II appears along the left margin, reading upward. The word PRÓBA, denoting trial or pattern status, is inscribed vertically adjacent to the portrait, confirming the coin's experimental strike designation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trial strikes from Mennica Polska in this period occupy a strange bureaucratic space — produced to test dies, approve designs, or satisfy internal mint records, they were never authorized for public release and rarely survived outside official channels. By 1989, Poland was in the final convulsions of communist rule, and the papal series had become politically charged: John Paul II's connection to Solidarity made any coin honoring him a quiet act of institutional tension within a state-run mint still nominally under party oversight.
Struck in nickel rather than the gold of the bullion issue it previews, this piece exists as a production artifact rather than a coin in any commercial sense.
