Coin Of the Realm Silver Medieval Europe 1278-1564 Mini Album & COA
The era known as the Medieval Period, spanning the nine centuries from the decline of Rome to the onset of the Renaissance, is commonly portrayed as a backward time characterized by holy wars, plagues, and ignorance—the Dark Ages. However, the Middle Ages defy this gloomy characterization. Notably, there were numerous achievements during this period, one of which was the resurgence of silver coins as a form of currency. Between 1278 and 1564, silver groschen minted in Prague, the third-largest city in medieval Europe (surpassed only by Rome and Constantinople), held the status of "coins of the realm." These coins, renowned for their high silver fineness, served as a nearly universal currency recognized across Europe, from London to Constantinople.
