3 Grossus - Frederick William II type 2 legend Ag

South Prussia was a short-lived Prussian administrative creation carved from the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, and coins struck for it were a deliberate instrument of monetary integration — replacing the Polish grosz system with Prussian reckoning. The Prussian Mint produced multiple legend varieties of this 3 Grossus type across 1795–1796, distinguished by subtle differences in the Latin titulature; the "type 2 legend" designation reflects one of those die-variant groupings rather than any redesign.

South Prussia ceased to exist as a jurisdiction after 1807, when the Treaty of Tilsit transferred the territory to the newly created Duchy of Warsaw.
