Issued in 1989, this Polish 35 złoty commemorative stamp honors those who died in the service and defense of the People’s Republic of Poland (Poległym w Służbie i Obronnie Polski Ludowej). The design depicts a solemn sculptural monument featuring workers and soldiers uniting around a memorial wall crowned with the Polish eagle emblem. Printed by PWPW (Polska Wytwórnia Papierów Wartościowych), this issue reflects the socialist realism of late-communist Poland and stands as one of the last patriotic issues before the 1989 political transformation.
