The Order of Polonia Restituta is one of Poland's principal state orders. It was established in 1921 and consists of five classes. The order continued to be awarded during the Polish People's Republic period.
The exact class, maker, production date and specific variant of each individual cross have not been independently determined from the available photographs. They are therefore offered conservatively as a group rather than being represented as four specific classes.

Expect possible:
