Coat of arms of Poland (1980-1990) - Tumbler 20oz

The Coat of Arms of Poland used between 1980 and 1990 represents a significant period in Polish history, characterized by political change and social upheaval. The design incorporates several traditional symbols, such as the white eagle (symbolizing strength and freedom) and the crowned white eagle, which was the coat of arms used during the interwar period. The shield is divided into three fields: red, white, and white with a black eagle. The red field represents the heroic deeds of Poles, the white symbolizes peace, justice, and unity, while the white-and-black field honors Poland's struggle for freedom under foreign domination. Above the shield, there are two crosses potents (crosses with a single vertical bar), one on each side, representing Christianity and the historical unification of the Polish lands. The design was officially adopted in 1980, during the period of martial law, and continued to be used until the restoration of democracy in 1990. Despite its short duration, this version of the Coat of Arms is a significant symbol of resilience and hope during a critical time in Poland's modern history.
