Poland’s past Olympic prowess is the inspiration for two 2022 coins celebrating the nation’s participation at the 2022 Olympics. Poland issued a Proof .925 fine silver 10-zloty coin.

Obverse: on the left-hand side, on a separate plane, the image of the Eagle established as the State Emblem of the Republic of Poland, under the Eagle, on the right-hand side, the year of issue: 2022, a semicircular inscription: RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA; on the right, against the background of separated planes, the image of the Pavilion of Prayer for Harvest, which is one of the buildings of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing; at the bottom, the denomination: 10 zloty.

Reverse: at the top, a silhouette of a competitor representing speed skating - short track - on the rink, along the left bank, from the bottom upwards, a semicircular inscription: POLISH OLYMPIC REPRESENTATION. At the bottom, on the right-hand side, on a separate area, is a semicircular inscription: BEIJING 2022 and below the logo of the Polish Olympic Committee.
