Images of official Groszy overprint types

Official Groszy overprints were produced in 10 postal districts: Warsaw, Gdańsk, Katowice, Kraków, Łódź, Lublin, Olsztyn, Poznań, Szczecin and Wrocław.

The official overprints can be divided into three main groups with different capital letter use:

Only Łódź, type 7, used the abbreviation "gr" and therefore can not be put in one of these three groups.

Group 3 can be subdivided as follows:
