Reverse description The reverse presents a detailed portrait of Bronisław Piłsudski, the Polish ethnographer and explorer, depicted in a three-quarter right-facing bust occupying the right portion of the field, rendered with fine engraved detail including his characteristic beard and period attire. In the left background, a scene evocative of the indigenous peoples of Sakhalin Island is depicted, showing a robed Ainu elder figure seated amid a mountainous landscape with stylized clouds above, referencing Piłsudski's ethnographic fieldwork in the Far East. A decorative ornamental motif recalling Ainu craftsmanship appears in the lower left field. The legend BRONISŁAW PIŁSUDSKI arcs along the lower periphery, and the dates 1866–1918 run vertically along the right rim.
