Additional information

Wincenty Witos led the Polish People's Party through three separate stints as Prime Minister during the turbulent interwar period, but it was his 1926 arrest by the Sanacja regime — following Piłsudski's May Coup — that cemented his status as a martyr of Polish democratic politics. He was tried before a court widely condemned as political theater, fled to Czechoslovakia before sentencing, and spent years in exile before returning to a Poland already sliding toward the Second World War.

This issue belongs to NBP's long-running series honoring figures of national significance, struck in a relatively small collector mintage with no circulation role whatsoever.
