The Prague Mint

ABOUT The Prague Mint:



Minting has always belonged to very important branches of production in the Czech country. The entitlement of coin minting belonged to the sovereign, that is why the first metal coin appeared in Prague, the town of Bohemian dukes, later kings. The oldest Czech means of payment were denars, the production of which goes back to the second half of the eighth century. The mission of the current Prague mint plc. is a restoration and a further development of this thousand years old tradition of a Czech coin minted in Prague.

Although the Prague tradition of coining is older than that of Vienna, Prague, this beautiful and admired city has not had the luck of an uninterrupted minting. For the last time, the activity of the mint in Prague was interrupted in 1856, after which the production of coins was concentrated in Vienna under the reign of the Habsburgs.

Prague mint plc. has a residence in the Municipal house in the square Náměstí republiky in Prague currently. The contemporary mint of Prague has become the youngest European mint and apparently also the world´s youngest mint at all.

The shop is in the Art Nouveau building of the Municipal House in Prague, designed by the outstanding architects Antonín Balšánek and Osvald Polívka, at the site of the former Royal Court, where the Czech kings settled between 1383-1484.
