Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Grosz pruski coin is that it was used as a means of payment in the Kingdom of Poland during the 16th century, specifically during the reign of Sigismund I the Old (1528-1535). Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted in trade due to its low weight and irregular minting process. As a result, it was often used as a token or a makeshift currency in local transactions, highlighting the diverse and sometimes creative ways that people used currency in the past.
