| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed sculptural finial in the form of an eagle with wings spread, perched atop an ornate column capital, rendered in high relief against a plain field. This motif is a reference to the Polish Museum in Rapperswil, Switzerland. The Latin motto 'MAGNA RES LIBERTAS' ('Freedom is a great thing') appears in the left field, and the founding and centenary dates '1870' and '2000' are inscribed to the right. The circular legend 'MUZEUM POLSKIE W RAPPERSWILU' runs along the outer border of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Polish Museum in Rapperswil, Switzerland was founded in 1870 by Count Władysław Broel-Plater on the grounds of a medieval castle above Lake Zurich — conceived specifically as a repository for Polish national archives, art, and artifacts during the long period of Partitions when no Polish state existed to house them. It functioned as something close to a government-in-exile for Polish cultural memory. The coin marks the museum's 130th anniversary.
Notably, the Rapperswil collections were shipped back to Warsaw in 1927 following Polish independence, nearly emptying the castle entirely before a second phase of the institution was reconstituted by émigré communities after 1939.
