An interesting issue for troops deployed in Galicia, about which Charles Plage wrote as follows: In 1794, when a general national uprising broke out in Poland under Kosciuszko in order to liberate itself from foreign influence, the Germans, fearing for their estates detached from Poland, gather armed forces in these provinces and at the same time coax the Poles. And wishing to manifest their seemingly cordial feelings toward them, they order a special coin to be minted for Galicia and Lodomeria - a penny and three-grosz coin, previously unknown in Germany, fully adhering not only to the Polish mint rate, but even on the coin itself marking its value as a Polish grosz: GROSSI POL(onicus).
A nice, definitely above average piece for this issue.
