An exceptional item from the series of numismatics commemorating great figures and events in Polish history. Issued in tribute to the 200th anniversary of the death of Prince Joseph Poniatowski, the coin combines historical message with artistic precision. Made of gold, in a limited edition of only 3000 pieces in proof quality, it is a true rarity for history enthusiasts, collectors of high-prestige coins, and investors seeking numismatics with lasting and growing value. It is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of Polish national heritage, people who appreciate elegance encapsulated in noble metal, and collectors who wish to enrich their collections with a coin possessing deep meaning and unique character.
A refined example of Polish minting, where the spirit of history harmoniously intertwines with the elegance of form. The reverse features a portrait of Prince Joseph Poniatowski, depicted in profile, with the dignity befitting a man of action. Accompanying it is the inscription PRINCE JOSEPH PONIATOWSKI 1763–1813, commemorating the 200th anniversary of his death. The obverse of the coin presents a symbolic set – a military hat and saber lying side by side, evoking the memory of soldierly honor and the tragic fate of the hero at Leipzig. The composition is completed by the emblem of the Republic of Poland, inscriptions, denomination, and date of issue. The smooth edge and mirror finish emphasize the collectible nature of the issue, which is a unique combination of national symbolism, historical memory, and artistic sophistication.
The coin was issued on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the death of Prince Joseph Poniatowski – one of the most outstanding figures in Polish military history and a national legend. Poniatowski, the nephew of the last king of Poland, was not only a general of the crown troops and Minister of War of the Duchy of Warsaw but above all a symbol of patriotism, honor, and loyalty to the homeland. He is remembered by generations as a hero who died fighting alongside Napoleon at Leipzig in 1813, rejecting the possibility of capitulation and remaining faithful to his military oath until the end.
The issuance of the gold coin by the National Bank of Poland aimed not only to commemorate this significant anniversary but also to evoke the spirit of the era in which Poland – despite lacking independence – continued to fight for its identity and presence on the map of Europe. Prince Poniatowski, as the only Pole awarded the title of Marshal of France, became an icon of resilience, and his figure still inspires admiration and respect today. The numismatic piece serves not only as a commemoration of an important event but also as a carrier of memory of an era in which honor and loyalty were paramount values. A subtle tribute to the Polish hero whose legend has endured through the ages.
