The reverse of the coin features an image of Lieutenant Colonel Władysław Belina-Prażmowski, dubbed the first uhlan of the Second Republic of Poland, against the background of the cavalry marching to Vilnius. He was a legionnaire and the organiser and commander of the 1st Uhlan Regiment of the Polish Legions; he organised the 1st Cavalry Brigade in independent Poland, which he commanded in the years 1919−1920. In the autumn of 1920, he left the army at his own request. In the years 1931−1933, he was the Mayor of Cracow, and then the Voivode of the Lvov Province until 1938.
