Reverse description The reverse presents a deeply sculpted composition commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Katyń massacre. Dominating the lower half of the field is a finely detailed Polish officer's peaked cap (rogatywka), rendered in high relief with the Polish eagle badge visible on the front of the cap band, serving as a poignant symbol of the victims. Behind and overlapping the cap, the bold inscription 'KATYŃ' is incused in large, stylized letters that span the width of the field, evoking a sense of gravitas and mourning. Arcing along the upper periphery, the commemorative legend '70. ROCZNICA ZBRODNI KATYŃSKIEJ' is inscribed in two lines, identifying the occasion as the 70th anniversary of the Katyń crime.
