This is a Polish Copper Grosz 1797 issued by the Prussian King for use in Southern Prussia (Poland S#95).

Thanks for help to everyone! I looked to Kruse catalog 1701. - 1800.(third edition) at Southern Prussia page. Catalog number is #C3, but year for this coin catalog gives only 1796. When I looked on my coin, then I agree with Gerhard Schön that year looks more to 1797. Question - is my catalog is old and latest edition gives also 1797. year for this type or #C3 are not right number for this coin?

Hello Gundars,
as it can be seen from the S#95 listing, this coin type was struck in Breslau (Wrocław) with B mintmark under the shield in 1796 and 1797, and in Königsberg (Kaliningrad) with E mintmark in 1796, 1797 and 1798, all with the bust and legend of King Friedrich Wilhelm II who deceased in 1797. It is also listed as KM#D362 under Prussia.
Greetings,
Gerhard

Thanks a lot Gerhard Schön!
