| Reverse description | The reverse bears a full-colour reproduction of the celebrated 1916 oil painting 'Portrait of Brigadier Józef Piłsudski' by the distinguished Polish Symbolist artist Jacek Malczewski. The subject, Józef Piłsudski — Polish military commander and statesman — is depicted in three-quarter facing bust, attired in his brigadier's uniform, rendered with the painterly detail and atmospheric quality characteristic of Malczewski's Symbolist idiom. The background evokes a soft, hazy landscape in muted tones, consistent with the original canvas. The coloured central motif is set within the coin's polished silver field, creating a vivid contrast between the artwork's warm palette and the bright metallic border. |
