Mint Masters Crafts

Text

Two officials in a medieval mint whose job it was to check the quality of coins minted and punish counterfeiters. One of them was appointed by the king and the position was hereditary. The other was elected by the Bohemian lords. The penalty for poor performance of duties or for allowing poor quality coins into circulation was death.
This was a high ranking position of great importance for the entire Bohemian Kingdom, so the names of all the mint masters and their officials are well documented. We list those who appear in the game:
Peter of Pisek, mint master, 1395
Adam of Zarzitz, coin scribe, 1401
Konrad of Vechta, coin clerk, 1401-1402, later still 1403
Ulrich Vavak von Neuhaus, mint master, 1402-1403
Christopher, assayer, 1403
