| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved portrait of Ignacy Łukasiewicz (1822–1882), the Polish pharmacist and pioneer of the modern petroleum industry, depicted in three-quarter view facing left, with a beard and period attire, his hand resting beside a kerosene lamp rendered in meticulous detail at the centre-right of the field. Behind the lamp, stylised flames radiate outward in a decorative arc, evoking the invention of the kerosene lamp on 31 July 1853. The date 31·VII·1853 is inscribed in the upper field. Along the lower rim, the legend IGNACY ŁUKASIEWICZ 1822–1882 is incused in a straight line. |
