    I used to own 10 or 15 examples from the 1500-1600's and they were very addictive as the history behind these is incredible!!!

    Cool pictures.

    I always thought those dual denomination coins (i.e. zloty/kopecks) very interesting.

    Thanks for the info.

    Very interesting coins, thanks for posting. My four grandparents emigrated from Galicia (Western Ukraine). I have quite a few Polish coins and notes from them but nothing this old.
