Münzzeichen#
Mint Marks: Ancient coins can for the most part be traced to a particular mint on account of signs or marks designating a particular mint master or mint, or on the basis of a specific configuration of the coat of arms. By order of December 9, 1780 the coinage officers were instructed to designate the mints where coins were minted without exception by means of letters, i.e. A for Vienna, B for Kremnitz, C for Prag, E for Karlsburg, F for Hall, G for Nagybanya, H for Guenzburg. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 the lettering for Kremnitz was changed to KB (Koermoecz-Banya) and that for Karlsburg to GYF (Gyula Fehervár).
