Obverse description Intaglio portrait of Nobel Prize-winning author Henryk Sienkiewicz at centre-left, rendered in teal against a fine guilloche underprint in teal and ochre tones. The denomination numerals appear twice — in large format at upper right and along the lower left — flanked by the issuer title at top right and the issuance date at centre right. A circular vignette enclosing the Polish crowned eagle arms is set between the two facsimile signatures of the President and Chief Treasurer of the National Bank of Poland.

Reverse description Central vignette presents a heraldic shield charged with three open books, flanked by two armoured knights bearing lances, flags, and swords in a composition evoking medieval Polish chivalric imagery, all printed in teal and ochre intaglio. The bank title appears in bold letterpress at top, with the denomination numeral at upper right and a decorative foliate cartouche alongside it. A large cursive NBP monogram in ochre guilloche dominates the right field, with the legal tender clause in a vertical text block at centre right.
