| Obverse description | Brown and tan tones over a yellow underprint, with a steel-engraved intaglio portrait of Frédéric Chopin in profile at centre. A vignette of his birthplace at Żelazowa Wola occupies the left portion of the note, while a fragment of the score of the Mazurka in B-flat Major (Op. 7) is rendered to the right, accompanied by a facsimile of the composer's signature below. The overall design integrates musical and biographical motifs in a refined commemorative composition. |

A score fragment of the Étude in F Minor (Op. 10, No. 9) is superimposed over the landscape, uniting the musical and natural imagery in a cohesive intaglio composition. |
