On February 13, 2024, the National Bank of Poland introduces into circulation a new silver coin with a face value of 10 złoty - Major Henryk Dobrzański "Hubal".
The obverse of the coin shows the Eagle established as the national emblem of the Republic of Poland and Major Dobrzański on horseback with a drawn sabre. At the bottom, there is a model 34 sabre used by the Polish cavalry in 1939 and a model 37 field cap worn in September 1939. Below, there are the words uttered by the major on hearing of the downfall of Warsaw.
The reverse presents the portrait of “Hubal” as he looked during the guerrilla time: with facial hair, wearing an unbuttoned uniform and a sheepskin coat over his shoulders. On the uniform, he is wearing the Silver Cross of the Virtuti Militari Order awarded to him in recognition of his struggle for the independence and the borders of Poland in the years 1918–1921.
The coin will be issued in a limited edition of up to 10,000 pieces.
