This coin belongs to Poland's long-running series honoring the armed forces of the Second Polish Republic, the interwar state reconstituted after 123 years of partition. The uhlans — light cavalry armed with lances — remained an active and symbolically charged branch of the Polish military through the 1930s, despite the Wehrmacht's later propaganda that Polish horsemen charged German tanks with sabers at Krojanty in 1939. That story was fabricated; the actual engagement was a successful cavalry raid against infantry, ended only by armored cars.
Narodowy Bank Polski struck this as a legal-tender collector issue with a mintage of 80,000 pieces.
