On March 7, the National Bank of Poland, Narodowy Bank Polski, issued a new silver coin with a face of 10 zlotych to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Poland's accession to NATO.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

It was established in 1949 as an international political and military alliance intended to counter the real threat posed to Western Europe by the Soviet Union. However, enslaved by the Yalta order until 1991, Poland was forced to participate in a military structure subordinate to Moscow's interests. It was not until the liberation of its rule that it was possible to adopt a defense doctrine and form armed forces appropriate for an independent state. With its political and economic return to the Western world, Poland also began the process of incorporation into its military structures. In April 1991, the North Atlantic Council adopted a declaration of partnership with Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries.

In December of the same year, Prime Minister Jan Olszewski declared Poland's intention to become a full member of NATO, and Minister of National Defense Jan Parys initiated procedures to adapt the Polish military to Western standards. In July 1997, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary were invited to become members of the alliance, and Poland formally joined NATO on March 12, 1999.

Poland's standing in NATO has increased considerably in recent years as a result of significant investment in the military, which protects the alliance's all-important eastern flank. One of the tasks performed by the Polish Air Force on a rotating basis is to patrol the eastern borders of three other NATO member states: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
 

On the reverse of the coin we can see the silhouettes of five Polish army soldiers representing modern military formations that make up NATO, and the symbol of NATO itself.
 

While on the obverse of the piece the weapons equipment of the Polish army is shown: the Krab self-propelled howitzer cannon, the M142 HIMARS rocket launcher and the M1A1 Abrams tank.
