Prague Groschen – Historical Replica Coin

Hold a connection to medieval Central Europe with this Prague Groschen replica. Minted in Europe with the size and feel of the original, this modern reproduction brings a historic coin design into your hands.

The history behind the coin

The Prague groschen was introduced in 1300 under King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic. Its production was supported by the rich silver mines at Kutná Hora. Although named for Prague, the coin's origins are closely tied to that mining town and the king's monetary reforms.

How the original was used

The original was a silver circulation coin, used as money rather than as a commemorative piece. It became widely accepted across medieval Central Europe, carrying Bohemian coinage beyond the kingdom through commerce. Minting ended in the mid-16th century, but the coins continued to circulate afterward.

The design

A royal crown appears on one side and the crowned, double-tailed Bohemian lion on the other, surrounded by inscriptions. These symbols connect the design to the Kingdom of Bohemia.
