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.
