History reference:
The Czech crown - appeared along with the Slovak crown during the collapse of Czechoslovakia in 1993 and to this day is the national currency of the Czech Republic in the forex market. The name "crow...n" was coined by the Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. The modern Czech crown is the same age as the independent Czech Republic. The reason for the emergence of a new currency was the collapse of Czechoslovakia. It should be noted that the first mention of the Czech crown dates back to the 12th century. That is why the word "crown" is still considered not only the name of money, but also the crown - the symbol of the ancient Czech kingdom. For the first time, money appeared on the lands of modern Czech Republic in 120 BC. The tribe, located in the place where today is Prague, minted gold coins for trade with neighbors. The Czech crown became the national currency of the Czech lands only at the end of the 19th century. After Austria-Hungary collapsed in 1918, Czechoslovakia appeared on the map of Europe.
