Charles IV was perceived as a gentle, dignified and
perhaps even somewhat cold man, but in In fact, his life was full of passion.
On the one hand, it was his enthusiasm for great ideals – after all, he lived
and breathed for Czech statehood, which is why he was rightly called the "Father
of the Fatherland".
On the other hand, he did not lack enthusiasm for ordinary
human pastimes, and it is these weaknesses that give the incomparable a
surprisingly human face. At the same time, the king's small passions often grew
into Events that moved the whole country:
The Coins:
The Reverses of the individual mintages present idealised scenes – of a ruler who takes care of a grapevine, who is accompanied by his dog visiting a hot spring fountain, who is participating in a knight's tournament and who is surrounded by his four wives. All this is embellished with rich Gothic décor.
Ducat – Karel adored good wine. He enjoyed a delicious
drink from Burgundy, the Rhineland or Austria, but when he saw the uncultivated
hills around Prague, ordered that they be planted with selected vines. In this
way, he could indulge in the fruits of his beloved earth, beautify it and at
the same time give it a gift. its people to make a living.
Two-Ducat – Charles was a passionate hunter. While
hunting a deer in the forests near Loket Castle, his dog fell into a pool, from
which gushed boiling water. When the monarch tasted the water, he stated that
The spring has healing effects.
The pain in his leg that had been bothering him
suddenly disappeared, and so Karlovy Vary was established.
Five-Ducat – Charles was a knight in heart and soul. He
had gone through the heat of many battles, and although it was incompatible
with his position, He found exciting entertainment in tournaments.
There was
not much missing and anonymous participation in the match became fatal for him
– a hit to the chin caused injuries that He survived only by a miracle.
Ten-Ducat – Karel was a lover of women. As a young man,
he was an experienced seducer, but as a ruler he settled down. He was married
to Blanche of Valois, Anna of the Palatinate, Anna of Swidnica and Elisabeth of
Pomerania, and When it came to dynastic marriages, where diplomacy played the
main role, he experienced and true love.
