It refers to the purchase price denominated in "Polish marks". I understand that both the zLoty & groszy are currently in use in Poland. However, aside from the real estate contract, I have not seen references to "Polish marks". Do you have any idea of how long they were in use, &/or how their value compared to the zLoty/groszy?
