65th anniversary of the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

In 2008 the Bank of Poland issued this coin to commemorate 65th anniversary of the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. On the coin we see a Magen David (Yellow Badge) in the shape of barbed wire (which is a well known motif in commemorating the Holocaust) and a girl wearing a beret.

Another coin in this series shows another Magen  David (Yellow Badge) against a brick wall. Courtesy of Gideon from “collect”, the Israeli collectors’ forum.
