A unique and extremely rare collector's item from the PRL era – a propaganda badge with the slogan "GOOD WORK", which was satirically commented on by the outstanding Polish cartoonist, Jacek Kiliński. It is not only a relic of a bygone era but above all a work of art that serves as an ironic commentary on the reality of the Polish People's Republic.
The badge refers to the famous slogan from the times of Edward Gierek, intended to encourage efficient work and optimism. However, Kiliński's manual intervention, known for his sharp pen and critical view of the system, gives it a completely new, subversive dimension. The satirical drawing transforms the official message into an intelligent and witty critique, making this badge a unique document of its era.
Why is this item unique?
- Unique combination of propaganda and art: An official ideological medium meets the artistic commentary of a leading satirist.

- Collector rarity: Items altered or commented on by artists are highly sought after by collectors of Varsaviana, art, and PRL relics.
- Authenticity and patina of time: An original period item, carrying authenticity and history.
