Prague grosh or Prager Groschen, what is the common English name for the coin from Prague? Or the one issued in Cracow? Or in general, Grosh, groat, or Groschen? Let's ask Google, but mainly let's search the American Numismatic Society's curatorial database of coins:

  • Record contains: grosh No records in the ANS database match your search
  • Record contains: grosssi Search returned 5 records
  • Record contains: grossus Search returned 13 records
  • Record contains: grossi Search returned 44 records
  • Record contains: grosz Search returned 81 records
  • Record contains: groat Search returned 330 records
  • Record contains: groschen Search returned 2908 records


  • Record contains: prag Search returned 7 records
  • Record contains: pragenses Search returned 29 records
  • Record contains: prager Search returned 30 records.
  • Record contains: prague Search returned 485 records
  • Record contains: prague Record contains: groschen Search returned 15 records
  • Record contains: grossi Record contains: pragenses Search returned 24 records
  • Record contains: prager Record contains: groschen Search returned 29 records


  • Record contains: kraków No records in the ANS database match your search.
  • Record contains: krakow Search returned 9 records.
  • Record contains: cracow Search returned 12 records
  • Record contains: krakau Search returned 61 records
  • Record contains: krakau Record contains: groschen Search returned 61 records

Sorry, but grosh is obviously a "original research" translation from slavic grosz, on the internet only due to the Misplaced Pages articles created by a few authors from, or due to ebay offers.

You're mixing Polish singular "grosz" with German plural "Groschen". If you want to compare it should be "grosz" against "Grosch" and Google gets you 2 million vs 1 million. What is English for grosz/Grosch ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lysy (talk • contribs).

Agree with Lysy. And remember WP:UE: grosh is better then grosch(en) or grosz. And Krakau groschen seems to be unused even on German websites - complete OR.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  15:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
