| Aanvullende informatie |
Władysław Sikorski died on 4 July 1943 when his Liberator aircraft crashed into the sea seconds after takeoff from Gibraltar — the very territory issuing this coin. The cause was never conclusively determined. Postwar speculation ranged from mechanical failure to assassination, with Churchill's government and Soviet intelligence both implicated in conspiracy theories that persist in Polish historiography to this day.
A formal Polish investigation was reopened in 2008 and closed inconclusively in 2016.
