A badge related to the 2nd Eastern Fair in Lviv, which took place on September 5–15, 1922. The date and edition number are confirmed by preserved fair documents from the era.
The Eastern Fair was inaugurated in 1921. Its primary goal was to promote Polish industry and trade and to develop economic relations with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Over time, it became one of the largest and most prestigious exhibition events in interwar Poland, attracting domestic and foreign entrepreneurs and exhibitors to Lviv.
The central part of the badge is occupied by Mercury's caduceus – a staff entwined with two snakes and topped with a winged hat, a traditional symbol of trade, commerce, and economic exchange. The lower part of the composition features depictions of goods and elements symbolizing industrial and commercial activity.
On the sides and above the caduceus are the letters "TWL" – Eastern Fair of Lviv.
