Word origin

The term 'zloty' originates from the Polish word 'zล‚oty', which means 'golden'. This currency evolved from the medieval gold and silver coins that were used in the Polish region. Its first known use as a currency dates back to the 14th century. Throughout history, the zloty has undergone significant changes due to economic, political, and historical events. The current form of the zloty was introduced in 1995 as part of a currency reform, replacing the old zloty at a rate of 1 new zloty to 10,000 old zlotys. This reform aimed to stabilize the economy of Poland after the fall of communism and transition to a market economy. Today, the zloty plays a crucial role in the economy of Poland and is recognized as one of the most stable currencies in the region.
