History of the Prague Groschen
The Prague Groschen began minting in 1300 by the Czech King Wenceslas II. That year, silver veins were found near Prague (in Kutná Hora) and silver mining began – at the time they were the largest silver mines in the world. This allowed the king to reform the coinage.
During the 13th century, the most common coin in medieval Europe was the denarius. Their quality fluctuated and by this time the weight was already under 1g, with the purity often being below 50% silver content. Wenceslas II was inspired by Tours, where the French king minted the gros tournois coin. The name itself comes from “velký denár”, later only the “velký” (gross) remained. The groschen was a large and heavy coin (30mm 3.5-3.7g silver, with a high purity of around 93-95% pure silver content.
Due to the richness of the Kutná Hora mines, the groschen quickly became the standard silver coin in Central Europe. After Prague, some other cities minted groschen, mainly in Germany, but the Prague groschen was long considered the most reliable and valuable. For example, the exchange rate was in effect when one Prague groschen was worth two Meissen groschen. To give you an idea, let’s try to imagine the value of the Prague groschen as approximately 10-20 euros in today’s world.
There were also smaller coins – half-groschen were also minted, old denarii remained in circulation, which had a value of around a quarter of a Prague groschen, and new small silver coins (parve) were minted, where one Prague groschen contained 12 parve.
The Prague grochenz became a unit of account – salary was usually calculated in Prague groschen, everyday purchases were converted into groschen and its fractions. If you are wondering why gold coins were not so popular, it is because their price was too high. If we try to imagine the value of, for example, one gold florin of John of Luxembourg or a gold ducat of Charles IV, it will be around 500-1,000 EUR. This means that most people never held a gold coin in their hands. Gold coins were used to buy houses, estates or other really expensive things and it was the currency of the nobility.
Silver coins were much more suitable for everyday life. During the Hussite Wars, the minting of groschen stopped and was only resumed by George of Poděbrady, but by then its weight had dropped to about 2.5g and the purity was only around 50% silver and later even less. From the mid-16th century, groschen had already become relatively worthless and when a new coin was introduced – the silver tolar. The exchange rate of both coins was then set at 30 groschen for 1 tolar.. Overseas discoveries caused a huge inflation of gold and silver and the purchasing power of groschens quickly fell. The minting of groschens was completely stopped by the monetary reform in 1644.
What sound did groschens have?
Prague groschens are great for all games because they are a key medieval coin in Central Europe and have different energy than ducats:
– they are not elite gold, but are “strong everyday coins”
– they were a symbol of the economic power of the kingdom
– it was the first truly major monetary reform in the Czech Kingdom, which determined a new trend in monetary policy in neighboring countries
– mining = boom = new wealth
Groš = a coin that moved the country.
Historical authenticity
Today, we are used to currency that changes regularly, with older coins quickly disappearing from circulation. In the Middle Ages, however, things worked very differently.
Coins often remained in circulation for decades, and it was completely normal for newly minted coins to be used alongside much older ones. For example, Prague groschen were used from the 14th century well into the time of the Thirty Years’ War.
Newer coins were often smaller and contained less precious metal, but older, higher-quality coins did not disappear. On the contrary – they were often valued even more.
In times of crisis, such as the Hussite Wars, minting could stop entirely. The Kutná Hora mint, one of the most important in Europe, was inactive for extended periods, which meant that coins already in circulation continued to be used for many years.
That is why it is historically accurate for different types and ages of coins to appear together in your game world – just as they did in reality.

Kutná Hora — Mintmasters
The furnace roared like an animal.
Silver flowed into the molds and light reflected off the wet stone. The Italians were used to mints, but not to this quantity.
“Did you see those carts?” Matteo said quietly. “They keep coming.”
The other chuckled.
“That’s not a city. That’s a vein.”
The first minted pieces lay on the table. Still sharp. Still new. Groschen.
Matteo took one. He turned it over. The weight was correct. Pure silver. Ambition evident.
“The king means it,” he said.
“The king means it richly,” the other corrected him.
The hammer fell. Another piece.
They worked in silence for a while.
“Are you staying?” Matteo asked.
The other looked around the hall. At the silver. At the people who had come from all over Europe. After the coin, which was just being born — and it was already clear that he would travel.
He took the penny between his fingers.
“Such a kingdom is not abandoned,” he said.
And the hammer fell again.
Dancer
The music was too loud and the wine too good for anyone to keep track of time.
Lute, laughter, wooden shoes. The pub was alive with the kind of evening that people only remember in parts.
The dancer spun and someone clapped.
At a table against the wall sat men who had enough money not to have to speak loudly.
One of them took out a coin.
A groschen.
He just held it for a moment. Then he threw it in a slight arc towards the dancer. The coin hit the wood and rang differently than a change.
The music didn’t stop for a moment—but the attention did.
“That’s a penny,” someone muttered.
“I see,” another replied.
The dancer picked up the coin. She turned it over. She looked at the man.
“For a dance?” she asked with a smile.
The man shrugged.
“For making this evening worth remembering.”
There was silence at the table for a moment.
Because pennies weren’t just being thrown around.
At the market
The market was noisy, but not chaotic. The kind of noise that makes it possible to negotiate.
“We need everything,” said Jindřich.
“We always need everything,” replied his companion.
They stopped at a stall selling gear. Belts, knives, sewing, the little things that make the difference between an unpleasant — or dangerous — journey.
Jindřich pulled out a pouch and poured a few coins into his palm. Groschen.
“This has to last,” he said.
“It’ll never last on the road,” his friend snorted.
The salesman looked them over. He nodded. Groschen were good coins. Reliable. Acceptable.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
Jindřich was silent for a moment.
“Where things get complicated,” he said.
The salesman selected the goods, added a small piece of extra rope, and gathered the coins together.
“The pennies are good,” he said. “But it’s better to be prepared.”
Jindřich nodded.
Because journeys don’t start with a decision.
They start with a coin you spend to set off.
Kuttenberg
They say cities are born slowly.
Kuttenberg was born quickly.
First there was land. Then silver. And then people who understood what it meant.
The carts arrived before the houses were built. Languages were mixed before the rules were agreed upon. And in the halls, where there was always noise, a coin began to be created that was supposed to do something unusual — give shape to wealth.
The groschen was not small. It wasn’t flashy either.
It was precise.
The mintmasters recognized it immediately. Weight, purity, repeatability. The silent thing that decides whether a coin stays — or disappears.
Buyers started to keep them separately.
Not because they were more beautiful.
Because they were certain.
And so a legend was born that no one wrote, but everyone knew:
That there are coins that just circulate.
And then there are coins that build cities.
Kuttenberg is among the latter.
Night Stork
The streets of Nuremberg were empty before night fell.
The rain muffled footsteps and the sound of metal carried farther than it should have. Nuremberg was a city of trade — but also a city of things that were not talked about.
A man sat at a table in the back room of the inn. Three groschen lay in front of him.
Not new. Not old. Used.
The innkeeper came without asking. He set the jug down. He didn’t look at the coins.
“Is it certain?” the man asked.
The innkeeper shrugged.
“In this town, the only thing certain is what has already happened.”
The man turned over a penny. The edge was slightly dented. The coin had already seen something.
“They said three was enough,” he said quietly.
The innkeeper finally looked.
“That’s enough,” he replied.
Silence.
Somewhere up above, wood cracked. The rain got heavier.
The man slid the coins across the table. Not quickly. Not slowly. So that it could not be taken back.
The innkeeper covered them with his hand.
“He wasn’t a bad person,” the man said.
The innkeeper was silent for a moment.
“The penny doesn’t matter who was what,” he replied.
When the man left, the coins lay in the darkness for a moment. Then they disappeared — like most things that start inconspicuously.
And outside the rain washed away the sound of footsteps.
Because some coins don’t pay for things.
They pay for things to happen.
