The name of the coin greschl (groeschl) comes from the German coin gröschel (from "Gröschlein/Gröschklein" — small groschen /German "klein" — small/).
In modern numismatics distinguish these two coins: German gröschel and Bohemian / Transilvanian greschl/groeschl. In addition to the minimal difference in the spelling of the names of these related coins, it is worth noting a fundamental difference: the German gröschel was a purely silver (billon) coin, while greschl/groeschl — copper.
