Description
The złoty is the official currency and legal tender of Poland.
The predecessors of the złoty were the Polish mark and the kopa. The grzywna was a currency that was equivalent to approximately 210 g of silver, in the 11th century. It was in use until sometime in the 14th century, when it gave way to the Kraków grzywna . At the same time, first as a complement to the grzywna, and then as the main currency, came the grosz and the kopa. Poland made the grosz as an imitation of the Prague groschen; the idea of the kopa came from the Czechs as well. A grzywna was worth 48 grosz; a kopa cost 60 grosz.
Coins are: 10zł, 20zł, 50zł, 100zł, 200zł, 500zł и монети от 1gr, 2gr, 5gr, 10gr, 20gr, 50gr, 1zł, 2zł, 5zł.
