| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a central beaded circle, a royal crown is depicted in the field. The legend is arranged in two concentric circular bands: the outer band reads DEI GRATIA REX BOEMIE, and the inner band bears the name of the king KAROLUS PRIMUS. The lettering is rendered in Gothic uncial script characteristic of Bohemian coinage of the 14th century. The overall design follows the established Prague Groschen format introduced under Wenceslaus II. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles IV received the Bohemian crown in 1347, the same year he was elected Holy Roman Emperor — a concentration of power that immediately elevated Prague's mint to one of the most politically significant in Europe. The Prague groschen, already an established denomination inherited from his predecessors, was maintained with unusual compositional consistency under Charles, a deliberate policy reflecting his ambition to keep Bohemian silver competitive against the French gros tournois that had originally inspired the type a half-century earlier.
Bohemia's Kutná Hora mines were at peak output during his reign, giving the crown a genuine silver surplus rare among contemporary monarchies.
