200 000 Zlotys General Stefan Rowecki'Grot'

Stefan Rowecki, codenamed "Grot" (Arrowhead), commanded the Armia Krajowa — the Polish Home Army — from its formation in 1942 until his arrest by the Gestapo in Warsaw in June 1943. He was executed at Sachsenhausen in August 1944, almost certainly on Himmler's direct order following the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising. This coin appeared in 1990, the first full year of post-communist governance, when commemorating AK commanders had only just become politically permissible — such figures had been systematically suppressed under the Polish People's Republic as inconvenient symbols of non-Soviet resistance.
