coinage

A Münzverein was a federation of different owners of the coinage agreement for the agreement and control of a common coin base. Coin associations are often constituted by a coin treaty.

The development of the economic conditions and corresponding trade interests made in the late Middle Ages necessary in the area of ​​the Rhine, Moselle and Main and later in the entire Holy Roman Empire larger territories in which the same coins were accepted. The peace necessary for the preservation of trade interests demanded the formation of land peace allies, in addition to the minting associations. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, Imperial Coin Ordinances and Land Peace Culms replaced the Coin Associations.
