The Bohemia and Moravia Crown was the official currency of the Protectorate between 1939 and 1945, replacing the Czechoslovak crown after the German occupation. The word “crown” comes from the Latin “corona” – meaning “crown,” widely used in European monarchies to name currencies.
1 crown was divided into 100 halíř. The term “halíř” originates from the German “Heller,” a medieval low-value coin used for small transactions.
