| Reverse description | The reverse presents a high-relief portrait of Major Władysław Raginis, the Polish officer who commanded the defense of Wizna in September 1939, shown in three-quarter view facing slightly left, dressed in military uniform. Behind him, a rugged stone or concrete bunker wall is depicted in relief, evoking the fortified defensive positions at Wizna, with a stylized cross or bunker aperture visible in the background. The inscription '7-10 IX 1939 WIZNA' arcs along the upper portion of the field, denoting the dates and location of the battle. Along the lower arc, a banner inscription reads 'MAJOR WŁADYSŁAW RAGINIS', identifying the depicted commander. The overall composition conveys a solemn, monumental tribute to the defenders of Wizna. |
