Kutná Hora's stone fountain, built around 1493 to supply water to the town's mining community, was financed directly from silver extracted at the nearby Vlašský Dvůr mint — the same mint that struck Prague Groschen dominating Central European trade for over a century. The Czech National Bank's High Gothic series, of which this is one installment, was specifically conceived to document Gothic architectural survivals before EU accession accelerated urban development pressures across Bohemia.
Mintage for this issue was capped at 4,000 pieces.
