BOHEMIA, Kingdom of Bohemia. Vaclav II. 1278-1305. AR Groš (28mm, 3.61 g, 4h). Kutná Hora (Kuttenburg) mint. Struck 1300-1305. Crown / Lion rampant left. Frynas B.25.16. Toned, areas of weak strike, a few minor marks. VF.

From the David C. Bianchi II Collection, purchased from Pegasi, February 2015.

The son of Ottokar II and Kunigunda Rostislavna, Václav II was kept from the crown during his regency, but returned to Bohemia in 1283 and became the Duke of Kraków in 1291. Following the death of Przemysł II, Václav became King of Poland as well. With the rich silver strike discovered in Kutná Hora, Václav took control of the mine and made silver production a royal monopoly, with the “Pražské groše” (Prague groschen) becoming one of the most popular silver coins of the period.
