When on11th October 1414 religious thinker, reformer and preacher Jan Hus after a lot of thinking went on the way to Constance, he did not know that it was his last trip. He planned to present his sermons on peace and sufficiency of Christ's law, but the fate and his enemies wanted to do that otherwise. They accused him of heresy and arrested him. There were 42 his senteces pointed out from his Writings on church under which he was tried, convicted, and imprisoned in the castle Gottlieben. Further interrogation led to the desecrated Jan Hus 6th July, 1415 in Konstanz Cathedral and the same day he was burned at the stake outside the city. His valuable thoughts, however, were not destroyed and represent an invaluable reference current even today. Engaging silver medal burning of Jan Hus is workof an important medallist and teacher Luboš Charvát, whose flair for original compositions gave rise to very well-done numismatic artwork.
