Ian Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Here's a small silver or billon coin of Alexander, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, (son of Cazimir IV). I'm not sure of its actual denomination but I suspect that its a `grosz' Obverse: eagle with legend `ALEXANDER DEI G REX' Reverse: crown with legend `MONETA REGIS POLONIAE (AR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrey5 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm not sure of its actual denomination but I suspect that its a `grosz' I think this is 1/2 Grosz. I have a catalogue by Z.Klimek of Polish coins between 1506 and 1795. It starts with a period of Sigismund I who ruled right after Alexander. Under Sigismund I coins with eagle on Av. and crown on Rev. were 1/2 Grosz. Design for Grosz was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi, Thanks for that. Looks like it is a half grosz I just noticed that there's another similar coin to mine at omnicoin.com. It's designated as being a half grosz, but the owner has no reference associated with it either. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
