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]

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!)
