The obverse of the coin features the national emblem in the background, where we can see a reproduction of a fragment of the original score written by Karol Szymanowski. All its elements are presented using a concave relief. Around the depictions runs the legend "Rzeczpospolita Polska 2007", and below is the denomination "200 zł".
The reverse shows a half-figure of Karol Szymanowski depicted in profile. In the background, there is a continuation of the composer's score and the dates of birth and death. Parallel to the edge runs the legend "125th Anniversary of the Birth of Karol Szymanowski".
The coin was minted in 15.5 grams of 900 fine gold. A proof stamp was used for the obverse and reverse.
Karol Szymanowski was born in 1882 into a Polish aristocratic family residing in the Dnieper region of Ukraine. He is now recognized worldwide as the most outstanding Polish composer after the renowned Fryderyk Chopin.
Szymanowski showed musical talent from the age of 7. His initial lessons were at home with his father. At the age of 10, Szymanowski began taking lessons from professional music teachers. His first teacher already noticed Szymanowski's great compositional talent. He continued his education in Warsaw and Berlin.
After World War I, Karol Szymanowski was initially associated with Bydgoszcz. He then moved to Warsaw, where, thanks to his outstanding talent, he gained fame and began working as the rector of the Warsaw Conservatory of Music. He spent the end of his life in Zakopane, where he treated the tuberculosis that plagued him throughout his life.
He died at the age of 55 in Lausanne, during one of his therapeutic trips to a local sanatorium. The virtuoso was buried in Krakow.
