Usually that reverse design is described as &quot;Głowa kobiety&quot; (&quot;Woman&#039;s head&quot;), and I have seen references to a personification of the Republic too.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;This design is sometimes erroneously called the &#039;Jadwiga&#039; design, after a female Polish king (sic) who ruled in the late 1300s. However, there is no indication that the coin has any relation to that monarch.&quot;</i> <a href="http://www.second-republic.com/silvercoins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.second-republic.com/silvercoins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.second-republic.com/silvercoins.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, a few years ago Poland issued several coins featuring coins of the 1930s.
