- {{Polishsymbol}} is irrelevant here, because this was drawn by a person, moreover an institution owns the copyright of this image. The phrase "normative acts and drafts thereof as well as official documents, materials, signs and symbols are not subject to copyrights" does not cover this image, because this image was not provided/published/created officially by the Polish government.--Cukrakalnis (talk) 10:07, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Delete This clearly is a copyrighted reconstruction by Z. Kwiatkiewicz, thus its copyright belongs to Z. Kwiatkiewicz and Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN (as already mentioned above by user Cukrakalnis, see: website from which this image was uploaded). There is absolutely no proof that Z. Kwiatkiewicz or Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN released it under a free license and the uploader simply stole it. Modern reconstructions by modern authors are not covered by PD or state symbols licenses. See also: other similar images uploaded by the same uploader and nominated for deletion due to the same reason. -- Pofka (talk) 15:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Deleted: per nomination. Most of the heraldic elements would be derivatives of old coats of arms (and therefore probably below the threshold of originality), but as a whole it is most likely still an original work by the artist, who is apparently either alive or died less than 70 years ago. --Rosenzweig τ 00:01, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
