Kraków grosz
The Kraków grosz (Latin: grossus cracoviensis (sing.), grossi cracovienses (pl.), Polish: grosz krakowski, German: Krakauer Groschen) were medieval silver coins minted in 14th century Kraków.[1]
Legend reads: outer ring "DEI GRATIA REX POLONIE"; inner ring "KAZIMIRVS PRIMUS"
Legend reads: "GROSI CRACOVIENSESS"
Following the Bohemian Prague groschen in use since 1300, and other large silver groschen-type coins issued in the Holy Roman Empire, the coin was introduced in 1367 during the reign of King Casimir III of Poland.[2]
Its obverse and reverse sides had the following text:
- KAZIMIRVS PRIMUS DEI GRATIA REX POLONIE
- GROSI CRACOVIENSESS (sic!)
