| Additional information |
Danuta Siedzikówna, known by her wartime pseudonym "Inka," served as a nurse and courier for the anti-communist Home Army resistance in postwar Poland. Arrested by the communist security service in 1946 at age seventeen, she was tried on fabricated charges and executed by firing squad in Gdańsk on August 28, 1947. Her reported last words — "Long live Poland" — became central to her posthumous rehabilitation. She was not officially exonerated until 1991, and her remains, buried in an unmarked grave, were only identified and reinterred with state honors in 2016, a year before this coin's release.
