| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed, full-color representation of the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest state decoration. At center, a white eagle with spread wings and a golden crown is depicted on a red cross pattée with gold trim, suspended from a gold ring and clasp. The eagle is rendered in fine enamel-like coloring with intricate feather detail, clutching symbols of state. The cross is mounted on a decorative suspension piece from which hangs a large dark blue silk bow ribbon, faithfully reproduced in color. The design is set against a plain gold-toned rectangular field, with the decorative milled border framing the entire reverse. |

| Additional information |
The Order of the White Eagle is Poland's oldest and highest state decoration, traced to 1705 under Augustus II — though its precise founding date has been disputed by Polish historians for decades. Niue's arrangement with the Polish Mint, which has produced collector issues under the Niue licensing framework since the 2010s, allowed this piece to be struck at Warsaw rather than through the usual Pacific Island intermediaries.
At 155.5g, this sits in the five-ounce silver category favored by Polish Mint prestige output in the early 2020s.
