This silver coin with a fineness of 0.925 was issued to commemorate key events in Polish history, namely the Silesian uprisings. Its extremely interesting design, both on the reverse and obverse, makes this coin memorable for the viewer.
The reverse of the coin features images of three Silesian insurgents, placed within the outline of a fragment of the Silesian map. There are three dates important for these events - 1919, 1920, and 1921, along with the inscription SILESIAN UPRISINGS. On the obverse, a fragment of the Silesian map is presented in line with the territorial demands of the time, against which the landscape of the Silesian region is depicted. We also see the Polish emblem along with the mint mark and the year of minting – 2011.
The Silesian uprisings were a series of armed conflicts that took place in Upper Silesia in the period following the end of World War I, mainly in the years 1919-1921. These clashes were a response by the Silesian population to attempts by Germany to annex the region. The population, focusing mainly on defending their national and territorial identity, fought against German authorities and military units. During these events, the inhabitants of Upper Silesia, regardless of their nationality, fought for affiliation with Poland or to remain within Germany's borders. The battles were brutal and bloody, and the outcome was crucial for the future of the region. Despite the diversity of the community living in Upper Silesia, people united in their pursuit of independence and the protection of their culture. Ultimately, the division of the region between Poland and Germany was confirmed by the Treaty of Versailles, and these territories were subjected to a plebiscite. The Silesian uprisings are an important element of Polish history, symbolizing the struggle for freedom and national identity.
