| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the waves of Polish deportations to Siberia that began under Tsarist Russia and continued under Soviet rule — most catastrophically in 1940–41, when the NKVD forcibly transported an estimated 320,000 to over one million Poles to labor camps and "special settlements" in Kazakhstan, Siberia, and the Soviet Far East. Many never returned. Those who did largely owed their survival to the Anders Army evacuation of 1942, which extracted roughly 115,000 Poles through Iran.
Mintage for this issue was capped at 2,500 pieces.
