The Kremnica mint belongs to the world's unique ones that need to be presented. Even a relatively short period of the Slovak state has brought a lot of interesting insights into the history of the company. The period in question arose only at the outside of an independent state. Germany ran everything from industry to functioning in the country. It was also the case in the Kremnica mint, but the state and Germany oversaw the processing of such expensive metal and coinage. Besides these things the company produced badges, medals and buttons. The post-1943 period was a difficult period for the company to produce raw materials for production. The mint, thanks to the SNU, managed to survive this difficult period and thanks to many interventions helped the insurgents. The period after the suppression of the SNU meant for the mercenary occupation a subsequent expulsion and the destruction of what could not be taken away. After the liberated lands by the Soviet army, a gradual renewal of the business and the launch of new coins came about. It is to the detriment that the reference of the Kremnica mint, written since 1328, has been in the last time shuffling from people's awareness.

The first document relating to royal taxes of Kremnica dates from 1375 and mentions a sum of 600 “red” florins. Various documents from the reign of Sigismund record 300 gold florins paid twice a year. The Union of Central Slovak Mining Towns headed by Kremnica began to form from the end of the 14th century and to act together. In 1424, King Sigismund granted all the towns including Kremnica to his wife Queen Barbara, and from that time they paid their tax to the queen. As head of the Union, Kremnica was given responsibility for joint accounting at the beginning of the 16th century, but it probably already had this role from an earlier date. The mining towns paid the royal tax (taxa regia) jointly. In the documented years 1507-1518, Kremnica paid about a quarter (24.87 – 27.49%) of the tax or in absolute amounts 106 – 288.67 accounting florins. The reduction of the regular tax in comparison with the previous period can be explained by the raising of extraordinary, especially military taxes and the general impoverishment of the mining towns as a result of the declining profitability of mining. The complaints to the king about these problems were so frequent that in numerous cases taxes were not charged for long periods. The share and documentation of the regular taxes gradually declined in comparison with the irregular or special taxes (visit by monarch, military taxes – the so called “subsidia” etc). In these cases, the joint tax could reach several thousand florins. Kremnica’s share may have been about a quarter. As for military taxes (“subsidia”), the towns were often willing to pay only a small part of demanded sums. They attempted to negotiate with the king to gain a substantial reduction.
