Product description

Prague Groschen, Wenceslas II., 1300-1644, pack of 10 coin replics

The groschen was subdivided into twelve parvus ("small") coins with a Bohemian heraldic lion sign on the obverse.

Minting of this coin started around 1300 after silver mines had been discovered in Kutná Hora during the reign of the Bohemian king Wenceslaus II. King Wenceslaus II invited the Italian lawyer Gozzius of Orvieto to create a mining code Ius regale montanorum which also was partly was a reform of the coinage. This, and the high amount of silver found in Kutná hora resulted in the implementation of Prague groschen. Because of the high amount of silver used in the coin it became one of the most popular of the early Groschen-type coins in medieval Europe.

Die Münzen sehen wirklich klasse aus. Nicht ganz optimal scheint mir jedoch die Wahl von Aluminium als Material. Dem Aussehen tut es keinen Abruch, meiner Meinung nach wäre ein schwereres / härteres Metall besser gewesen, damit sich die Münzen auch wirklich wie echte Münzen anfühlen.
