OverviewSome discoveries are meant to be admired behind glass. Others refuse to stay silent. When Daniel, a quiet Southern California schoolteacher with a lifelong fascination for forgotten objects, acquires an unusual silver coin, he believes he has stumbled onto nothing more than an obscure curiosity. The coin is heavy, worn smooth by centuries of handling, and marked with symbols that seem oddly deliberate. It should have been cataloged, dated, and dismissed long ago. Instead, it begins to unravel everything Daniel thought he understood about history. As the coin's origins trace back to medieval Prague, Daniel is drawn into a shadowed world beneath the city's cobblestone streets. A world of hidden tunnels, vanished vaults, rebel chambers, and secrets deliberately erased from official records. The markings on the coin appear to be more than decoration. They resemble a map. A warning. And possibly a claim to something never meant to be found. What begins as private research quickly spirals into public controversy. Historians argue. Media attention explodes. Academic institutions question Daniel's credibility. And whispers surface of others who have hunted this coin before him. Some vanished. Some lied. Some protected the truth at great cost. As Daniel follows the coin's trail through centuries of war, forgery, theft, and suppression, he learns that Prague's past was shaped not only by kings and empires, but by ordinary people who hid wealth, knowledge, and power beneath their feet to survive. The coin becomes a symbol of resistance, a relic of a moment when history was deliberately rewritten to serve those in control. At the same time, Daniel must navigate the pressure of modern life. School administrators demand answers. Students write letters asking him to tell the truth. Lawyers, historians, and self-proclaimed experts circle closer. And an unexpected phone call forces him to confront a disturbing possibility. The chaos surrounding the coin may not be accidental. It may be engineered. Blending historical fiction with modern suspense, Prague's Coin: The Discovery that Challenged History moves seamlessly between medieval Prague and present-day California. The novel explores how fragile accepted history can be, how easily truth can be buried, and how one ordinary person can become the reluctant guardian of something extraordinary. This is a story about obsession and integrity. About the weight of the past and the courage required to challenge it. About a single artifact that refuses to remain a footnote and instead demands to be heard. For readers who love atmospheric historical mysteries, intellectual thrillers, and stories where the past collides dangerously with the present, Prague's Coin offers a gripping journey into the question we rarely ask. What if history is incomplete by design? And what happens when someone finally finds the proof? Prague's Coin is not just a discovery. It is a reckoning.
