| Reverse description | A dynamic battle scene in high relief depicts Polish infantry soldiers in combat during the 1939 Defensive War, with one soldier charging forward with a rifle and bayonet while a second fires from a prone position in the foreground. The composition conveys urgency and heroism in a sculptural, semi-realistic style typical of Polish commemorative issues of the period. The word PRÓBA appears in the upper right field, identifying this as a trial strike. The circular legend 50 ROCZNICA WOJNY OBRONNEJ NARODU POLSKIEGO arcs along the upper periphery. The date range 1939 - 1989 is inscribed along the lower portion of the field. |
