Poland 5 and 10 Groszy 1816 to 1840

Poland 5 and 10 Groszy 1816 to 1840

That double-headed eagle is hard to miss. It is an emblem that appears on many old Austrian, Polish, and Russian coins. Your coin, with the denomination 10 grosy, is from Poland. The Austrians used kreuzers (or kreutzers) and the Russians used kopeks.

Grosz (plural groszy) coins were minted in 1, 3, 5, and 10 groszy denominations by Poland between 1816 and 1840. The 1 and 3 groszy coins were minted in pure copper, the 5 and 10 groszy have 19 percent silver added.

Here is a run-down of approximate catalog values for these coins.

5 GROSZY
worn: $4 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $18
well preserved: $35

10 GROSZY
worn: $8 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated): $25
well preserved: $50

All the dates of these coins are worth about the same except the 1832 and 1833 dates. In 5 groszy, the 1832 is worth about twice as much as the *normal* dates, and in 10 groszy, the catalogs won't even venture a guess at value because they are so rare. Hope you have one of those!

Be sure to apply the principles set forth on our Terminology page when interpreting the catalog values shown above.
