Medieval coin production
Issuing coins was an important source of income for the king. The will of Magnus Ladulås from 1285 refers to several mints, where his coins were made. In the 1970s archaeologists found lead moulds (4) and silver waste (5) – traces of one of the king’s mints – when excavating the Bromsgården district in Örebro.
