Mr. Menadier spoke about the coins of Altenbnrg old imperial city, previously owned by the burgraves of Altenbarg administered in the name of the German kings, by the Emperor Frie- drich IL next to Chemnitz. Zwickau and the Pleissnerland as used as collateral for the dowry of his daughter Margaretha, around 1256 by Margrave Henry the Erlaachten taken into possession and since the end of the Thuringian period War of Succession in permanent possession of the House of Wettin remained. From the year 1209 to the middle of the 14th century The Altenburg Mint is mentioned in numerous documents made, and the document in which Margrave Heinrich the City confirms its old privileges, contains nm&ssen sentiments about the coins, their mintage at that time was in the hands of the city.
