Originally it is a silver coin with obverse sign DEI GRATIA REX BOEMIE (By the grace of God the king of Bohemia) and on the verso GROSSI PRAGENSIS (Prague groschen) that became very common throughout the Medieval Central Europe.

Minting of this coin started around 1300 after silver mines had been discovered in Hory Kutné during the reign of the Bohemian king Wenceslaus II. The inspiration came from France where groschen were used since 1266 and replaced old coin called denar. The name came from the latin denarius grossus (English: thick denar).
