| Additional information |
The 1771 copper dwugrosz sits in an uncomfortable moment in Polish monetary history — just one year before the First Partition, the Sejm was deadlocked and royal authority was hemorrhaging to the Confederacy of Bar. Poniatowski's mint continued striking small copper denominations largely out of institutional momentum rather than any coherent monetary policy. The Kop#2331 attribution places this among the pattern coinage documented by Kopicki, suggesting this particular emission may never have seen broad circulation at all.
