The medal was created to mark the tenth anniversary of the post-World War II establishment of communist Poland, identified with the PKWN Manifesto of 22 July 1944. It was designed by Polish sculptor Józef Gosławski.[1]
The medal was awarded between 22 July 1954 and 22 July 1955. It was disestablished in 1992.[2] Recipients included Janina Dziarnowska.
Similar medals were later established to mark the 30th anniversary (in 1974) and 40th anniversary (in 1984) of "People's Poland".
