Syllabus
  • The origin of money, from a variety of pre-monetary forms to the appearance of coinage in ancient cultures of this region, where the bases for some monetary systems were created. The development of coins and coinage in the Middle Ages within Czech Lands covered by this historical term has been covered in a comprehensive manner. Some early medieval Czech and Moravian coins also played a significant role in long distance trade. Silver from Kutná Hora provided the basis for the international renown of Czech coins and was one of the main pillars of the groschen currency in Europe. Post-medieval Czech coinage based on the thaler coin, are first connected with the minting of this large silver coin in Jáchymov (Sankt Joachimsthal), from which the monetary unit took its name and by which this whole epoch in the history of coinage is known. The coinage of the Czech Lands remained significant, even within the framework of the Austrian confederation. The development of currency in the modern period within the Czech Lands, which climaxed with the appearance of the Czechoslovak crown, was a reflexion of some complex industrial and political processes in Europe and was supported by the development of domestic monetary institutions.
