    Looks like Charles IV (1316 to 1378), originally named Wenceslaus, was the second King of Bohemia from the House of Luxembourg, and the first King of Bohemia also to become Holy Roman Emperor. Here's a close match, gives you somewhere to start.

    Ok so I’ve looked it up before n only found that the original was made out of gold, and that there were replicas such as the one you have pictured, but the one that I found is silver and I looked all over the net researching if they ever made silver ones but I found nothing, no luck.

    Hi, Same here,not much luck finding that one. It must be a replica of the original Gold ones that were produced?

    If you enlarge the pics you can tell it's a cast coin. It's a replica

    Are replicas worth anything, even if it’s silver?

    You would have determine/know the % of silver content.

    If silver, it's always going to be worth at least melt value. But the trick would be to know what content of silver (.500/.925, etc. ) is involved. Probably need to do some more research as to who made these.

    i have a gold one but its much smaller than the pictures i have seen of it and it has the outer edges of it cut off to show that it is pure gold and not cast or painted with some sort of gold paint
