| Additional information |
Warsaw University of Technology, founded in 1826 under the Kingdom of Poland during Russian partition, was closed by Tsarist authorities in 1831 following the November Uprising. It reopened under German occupation in 1915 — precisely a century before this coin's issue date — making the centenary of that reopening the direct occasion for the commemorative. The institution produced a disproportionate share of Poland's wartime resistance engineers during the 1939–1945 occupation, when clandestine instruction continued illegally under Nazi prohibition.
