Dwugrosz koronny - Stanisław August Poniatowski Warszawa mint

By 1771, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was three years into the First Partition negotiations that would dismember it in 1772, and Poniatowski's monetary reforms were partly an attempt to rationalize a coinage system debased by decades of Saxon mismanagement. The Warsaw mint had been re-established specifically to support these reforms, replacing the chaotic output of private lessees who had exploited mint contracts under Augustus III.

Kopicki 2333 places this issue within a tightly documented sequence. The two-grosz denomination was among the workhorse coins of the reform series, struck in large numbers for everyday commerce in a country whose monetary credibility was already being undermined by the political crisis surrounding it.
