Piastre was not withdrawn from circulation and was equated to 0.01 pounds, amounting, in turn, to 40 pairs.

Zloty (Polish - gold) - at least since the 15th century, the everyday name of the golden ducat, since 1526 - the main counting monetary unit, since 1564 - the silver coin of the Kingdom of Poland, an...d after the Commonwealth, from 1924 to the present - national currency of Poland. Initially, the word "złoty" in Poland was used to refer to foreign-made gold coins (mostly ducats), then for some time in the 16th century, the złoty was a counting monetary unit, and since 1564, złoty began to be minted in the form of silver coins. Before the zloty, other monetary units were used in Poland - the Polish mark (or, as it was also called the "hryvnia"), kopa, and the Krakow hryvnia.
