The issue was created for enthusiasts of Polish knightly heritage and thematic numismatics. The coin refers to the era of medieval armored cavalry – a formation that symbolized military power and the knightly ethos in 14th–16th century Poland. This design combines historical context with minting craftsmanship, creating an item that can enrich any collector's collection. The coin is aimed at collectors who appreciate issues with significant thematic and cultural value – ideal for those who want to own a piece that not only represents a specific event or figure, but also serves as a reminder of tradition, heritage, and the art of coinage.
The coin stands out with its distinct historical aesthetics—the design combines a fresh interpretation of the theme of knighthood with the solemnity and tradition of mint design. The reverse features an image of a heavily armored knight in full armor, sitting on a horse and holding a lance. In the background, you can see the silhouette of a second rider and the outline of urban buildings, which gives the scene a military-urban context. At the bottom, there is an inscription emphasizing the theme of the issue. The obverse presents the emblem of the Republic of Poland, above which there is a knight's helmet and ornament. Next to the eagle, there is a sword placed diagonally and the year of issue. On the sides, the name of the issuing country and the denomination of the coin are incorporated, creating a formal frame for the main motif.
In the 15th century, knighthood underwent a period of change – the traditional model of a warrior in full plate armor gradually began to give way to new forms of combat, but it still remained a symbol of prestige, courage, and feudal order.
The theme of knights is deeply rooted in Polish history – from battles with the Teutonic Order, through dynastic wars, to the flourishing of knightly culture during the reign of the Jagiellonian dynasty. The choice of this theme for the NBP coin issue is in line with the institution's desire to emphasize the military heritage and significance of knighthood as one of the pillars of national tradition.
The coin is part of an educational and collector's series created to popularize Polish history by presenting key events and figures from past eras. The depiction of a heavily armed horseman is a way of commemorating the role played by Polish knights in shaping the statehood and defense of the country at a time when honor and military strength were the basis of political stability.
