History

The Medal for the 30th Anniversary of the Polish People's Republic was established by the Council of State in 1974 in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Polish People's Republic. It was awarded to civil servants and others involved in social and political activities in recognition of their contributions to the nation. It was permanently suppressed in 1992 following the collapse of the communist regime.

The Silver Medal features initials on the obverse that stand for "Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa" (Polish People's Republic), and a reverse inscription that translates to "Struggle, Labour, Socialism."
