Historical Context: This 5 Groszy coin, issued between 1826 and 1840, originates from the Russian Partition of Poland during Emperor Nikolai I's reign. It represents the Congress Kingdom of Poland, a nominally autonomous entity post-Congress of Vienna. This era saw increasing Russian suppression of Polish liberties, culminating in the November Uprising of 1830-31. The coin's issuance, with Polish denominations, reflects the gradual erosion of Polish distinctiveness, as Russian control intensified, but before complete monetary assimilation.
Artistry: The 5 Groszy design follows numismatic conventions of the Warsaw Mint under Russian suzerainty. While specific engravers are often unrecorded for such denominations, the stylistic approach is Neoclassical, emphasizing clarity and imperial symbolism. The obverse features the crowned double-headed Imperial Russian eagle, denoting the Tsar's authority. The reverse displays the denomination "5 GROSZY" and date, encircled by a wreath, all in Polish, affirming its use within the Congress Kingdom's monetary system.
Technical/Grading: Struck in billon with a low silver content of .192, this 1.45-gram, 17mm coin was a utilitarian piece. High-points prone to wear include the crowns and heads of the double-headed eagle, and the crown above the denomination. Due to its billon composition, strikes can vary from weak to adequate, often exhibiting planchet imperfections. Collectors should anticipate varying degrees of original luster, often obscured by dark toning or environmental damage, making well-struck, problem-free examples desirable.
