Kremnica Mint, Historic mint building in Kremnica, Slovakia
The Kremnica Mint sits in several connected buildings at the northwestern corner of the central square. The complex displays Gothic features and holds a Renaissance treasury room with original pillars, now serving as a museum of coins and medals.
The mint was established in 1328 by King Charles Robert of Anjou as a major coinage center in Central Europe. It expanded operations over the following centuries to produce coins for multiple nations while remaining active in the same location.
The Museum of Coins and Medals within the mint complex presents exhibits about local minting traditions and houses collections of historical coinage equipment.
The site sits directly on Kremnica's central square and is straightforward to find and visit. Guests can walk through both historic rooms and see where coins are still produced today, giving a clear picture of how the work has evolved over time.
The mint preserves a working collection of historical Vulkan machines that have produced billions of coins for different nations. These original machines stand as a technical monument showing how minting techniques changed from old methods to modern ones.
