| 背面描述 | The reverse presents a boldly rendered equestrian scene depicting a Polish chevau-léger (light cavalryman) of the Imperial Guard of Napoleon I in full dress uniform, mounted on a rearing horse and carrying a lance with a streaming pennant. The trooper is attired in the distinctive uniform of the regiment, including a czapka helmet with plume, and wears a short dolman jacket with decorative braiding. In the lower field beneath the horse, the sunburst eagle badge of the Polish Legions is depicted along with a defeated serpentine figure, evoking martial glory. The legend SZWOLEŻER GWARDII CESARZA NAPOLEONA I is inscribed in three lines across the lower register in recessed Latin capitals against the mirror-polished field. |

Struck to commemorate the Polish light cavalry regiment known as the Chevau-légers de la Garde Impériale, this issue honors a unit raised in 1807 following Napoleon's creation of the Duchy of Warsaw from Prussian-partitioned Polish territory. The regiment's charge at the Somosierra pass in November 1808 — where roughly 150 Polish lancers broke a Spanish artillery position that had halted the entire French advance — became the defining episode of their reputation.
Napoleon reportedly witnessed the charge personally and was sufficiently impressed to review the survivors immediately afterward.
