These copper grosze were struck under Russian imperial administration during a period of severe political repression following the failed November Uprising of 1830–31. After crushing the rebellion, Tsar Nicholas I abolished the Polish constitution, dissolved the Sejm, and reduced the Kingdom of Poland to a province governed by decree. The Warsaw Mint continued operating, but its output now served a subject territory, not a sovereign one.
Production ran across six years with little variation between dates — minor die differences exist but no dramatic varieties command significant premiums.
