Right of coinage in the Holy Roman Empire

The right of coinage in the Holy Roman Empire (in German Münzregal)^[1] was one of the so-called regalia (also called royal privileges or sovereign rights). It consisted of the right to issue regulations governing the production and use of coins. It covered the specification of currency, the right to mint and the right to use coins and the profit from minting. It is variously referred to in English sources as the "right of coinage",^[1] "coinage regality",^[2] "regality of coinage",^[2] "minting privileges"^[3] and "coinage prerogative".^[4]^[5]
