GRÓFI BANSKEJ A MINCOVEJ KOMORY V KREMNICI A KOMORSKÝ GRÓF KONRÁD ROLNER (1440 – 1446)
THE COUNTS OF THE MINING AND MINT CHAMBER AT KREMNICA AND CHAMBER COUNT KONRAD ROLNER (1440–1446)

Summary/Abstract: The mint marks on medieval Hungarian coins can be used to determine the chronological order in which the coins were minted. It is necessary though, to start with the years of reigns of the monarchs, the iconography of the coins, as well as written sources referring to the Chamber Counts administering the Royal Mining and Coin Chambers. This is important for economic history, numismatic research, and the dating of archaeological finds. One of the medieval Chamber Counts of Kremnica was Konrád Rolner. He held this position not only between 1440 and 1443, as stated in most professional literature sources, but also between 1444 and 1446, as indicated by several documents. There are also references to the Chamber Count Konrád Polner, which are based on the misreading of his surname. Its correct form is Rolner. Chamber Count Konrád Polner is therefore identical with the Count Konrád Rolner. Gold florins bearing the mint mark K - R + can thus be assigned to Konrád Rolner.
