| Reverse description | The central field presents a stylised, dynamic image of a mounted uhlan in full gallop, sabre raised, executed against a background of stylised silhouettes of additional mounted uhlans rendered in lower relief. The composition conveys movement and martial spirit characteristic of the Polish cavalry tradition of the Second Polish Republic. A semicircular legend arcs across the upper portion of the field reading UŁAN II RZECZYPOSPOLITEJ. |

| Additional information |
Part of Poland's long-running series honoring the armed forces of the Second Polish Republic, this issue commemorates the cavalry tradition that defined interwar Polish military identity — and met its end in 1939. The romantic but persistent myth that Polish lancers charged German tanks with sabers has been largely debunked by historians; the cavalry fought as modern mounted infantry, and performed creditably in several engagements before being overwhelmed by a two-front invasion.
Struck at Mennica Polska in Warsaw, which has operated under various names and political circumstances since 1766.
