Mise: Cestovat po Anglii - protože já bych po Anglii chtěla cestovat pořád, tak ať tam místo mě cestuje aspoň mince.
Mission: Travel around England - because I love travelling around England, and since I can't be there all the time, let the coin travel on my behalf.
Karel IV., otec vlasti, král český a císař římský
Prý sedával s panem Buškem z Velhartic u dubového stolu, jak nám laskavě vypráví básník Neruda, a popíjel s ním vína, které zrálo v Čechách. Zprvu se prý zdálo trpké, ale brzy mu král přivykl a oblíbil si ho, stejně jako český lid. Lid, který má zvláštní duši - trochu drsná prý zdá se - však kvete po svém, v osobité kráse.
Romanticky ještě citujme z jiné fikce:
"Ale rci sám, copak je možné abychom nemilovali to, co je dílem naším?
Když jsem přišel do této země, našel jsem jen žalně zírající poušť. Města ochuzená a vypleněná, vesnice sdrané a ožebračené, panstvo zpupné, odbojné a loupeživé, lid skleslý a utýraný.
A teď? Když vidím, jak dílo mé se daří? Jak země před mým zrakem vzkvétá? Tu chci sebe sama překonati v lásce k této zemi!"
(film Noc na Karlštejně)
Přála bych si, aby tato mince nosila odkaz krále Karla IV. nejen po Čechách, ale i po Evropě a možná po celém světě.

Charles IV, a Czech king and a Holy Roman Emperor
A Czech poet Jan Neruda wrote a romantic ballad about Charles IV in which he described how Charles tried the Czech wine for the very first time. Sitting at an oaken table with Sir Bushek of Velhartice, he found the wine bitter - as bitter as are the Czechs! But, swallowing slowly and tasting a few more sips, he realized that it has some magic, that first it tastes bitter but then it gets pleasant and tasty. The same is said about the Czechs - that they may appear a bit rough at the begining but they are good in their hearts.
In a movie about Charles IV, the king is heard saying:
"But tell me, is it possible not to love what we have created?
When I first came to this country, I found only a mournfully looking desert. The towns had been pillaged and plundered, the villages worn down and pauperized, the gentry disdainful, rebellious and maraunding, the people downhearted and ill-treated.
But now? After I see the fruits of my love and labour? Now especially I want to love this country better that ever!"
I wish this coin spreads the legacy of Charles IV not only in the Czech Republic but also in Europe and perhaps around the whole world.
