| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse features a portrait of Lieutenant General Władysław Sikorski in military dress uniform with peaked cap bearing the Polish eagle, rendered in fine engraved relief against a divided field. To the left, a Liberator aircraft is depicted in flight above stylised waves, referencing the fatal crash of 4 July 1943 off Gibraltar. The numeral '80' surmounted by 'TH' appears prominently in the upper left field, forming part of the commemorative inscription 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GIBRALTAR PLANE CRASH 4.07.1943 arcing along the upper border. Below the portrait, the inscription Lieutenant-general WŁADYSŁAW SIKORSKI is engraved in the lower field. A small engraver's initial 'R' appears at the lower right. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
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 established. A British inquiry returned an open verdict, Soviet involvement has been periodically alleged, and the wreckage offered little. Sikorski was at that moment the most important Polish figure in the Allied coalition: Prime Minister of the Polish government-in-exile and Commander-in-Chief of Polish Armed Forces.
The eightieth anniversary of his death at Gibraltar gives this issue its occasion.
