Notably, it was used on the military standard of the 2nd Kraków Grenadier Regiment. The banner was awarded to the regiment by the uprising leader, Tadeusz Kościuszko, on 16 August 1794. The standard was a red rectangle, depicting a yellow (golden) sheaf and a hat with a feather placed over it, both inscribed in a wreath consisting of crossed conventionalized branches of the olive tree. On the top of the banner was written the motto, made out of the capital yellow (golden) letters, spelled as "ŻYWIĄ Y BRONIĄ".
