The introduction of the „National Coin” in the Free City of Cracow in 1833. From the study of the Treasury in Polish lands in the 19th century

Summary/Abstract: The article shows the course of activities on introducing Polish own currency („National Coin”) in the Free City of Cracow in 1833 and its importance to economic and social life until the late forties of XIX century, when the Austrian authorities issued their own convention coin. The co-operation with the mint in Vienna was reconstructed, where „National Coin” was minted, as well as the stages of earlier negotiations with the Austrian government on this issue. The functioning of the Cracow currency in the years 1815–1833 was shown when apart from the Polish Zloty (the currency of the Kingdom of Poland), coins and banknotes from the times of the Duchy of Warsaw, coins and banknotes from Prussia, French ones and even form Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were in circulation. The documents kept at the National Archives in Cracow as well as official journals and studies of the history of coins on Polish lands were of the key importance for the study.
