A New Perspective on the Imperial Coinage

Hendrik Mäkeler

Chapter 1 in Money and Finance in Central Europe during the Later Middle Ages, 2016, pp 25-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The significance of the imperial coinage in the 14th century is its approach to the inclusion of both Italian and French gold coinage. More specifically, the intention was to facilitate the clearing of Italian florin coinage, which was also minted in Bohemia and the German lands, and the French écu d’or. On a political level, this monetary policy reflects the intermediate positions of the German emperors between Bohemia and France, and they are significant for the life story of the German emperors of the period, who were raised at the Bohemian and the French court respectively.
