(2001).</p><p><br /></p><p>The term &quot;rynsky&quot; does not appear anywhere in Krause as a coin denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was no such place as Czechoslovakia in the 19th Century, although its post WW II territory was within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as was much, if not all, of modern-day Poland.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
