GROESCHL as coin name.
The name of the Central European coin groeschl as well as greschl comes from the quite popular German coin gröschel (from "Gröschlein or Gröschklein" — small groschen /German "klein" — "small"/).
In modern numismatics distinguish these related coins: silver or billon German gröschel/groeschel/greschel and Bohemian-Transilvanian copper greschl/groeschl.
In general, a very strange situation: 5 spellings, in fact, of the same denomination. Although I personally see them as 5 different coin names.
