Poland 5 Zlotych (3/4 Ruble) and 10 Zlotych (1 1/2 Rubles) 1833 to 1841

What a magnificent coin, Moe! That's a pleasing design if I ever saw one. The double-headed eagle looks as fierce as ever, and the big, bold lettering on the reverse even offers a dual denomination, allowing the coin to circulate within both Polish and Russian spheres of economical influence.

These are big, bold and beautiful pieces struck in silver during the reign of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia weight, diameters, and values for both the 5 and 10 zlotych denominations follow below. The values are for all dates except when specifically mentioned.
