Comment
Coin is (and was) named "Peníz" in Czech, which means literally coin or penny. Nummus is secondary name from Latin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Wencezlaus IV ND (1378-1419) coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique design element - a stylized representation of the Bohemian lion on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the kingdom's coat of arms. This design was used during the reign of Wenceslaus IV, who was the King of Bohemia from 1378 to 1419. The use of the lion symbol on the coinage was a way to showcase the kingdom's rich history and cultural heritage.
