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.

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.
