Notes: (1) Please adjust the brightness and contrast on your monitor for the best colour.

(2) The links below contain only the major Polish medals. Many others, such as medals
of Veteran's Associations are not all included.

            (3) The illustrations and information on the following pages are intended as reference for
                        collectors of Polish Medals and Militaria. Communist Polish items (PRL) are included
                        for the purposes of identification and comparison only. The inclusion of PRL material in
                        some of these pages is in NO way an endorsement of a brutal regime which was
                        responsible for enslaving the people of Poland between 1939 and 1989.
