I know making coins was a privillege of the king, and that noblemen were allowed somethimes to have coins of their own. Did this privillege pass from father to son or did the new king have to confirm it? And did they have a standard in making coins (say, a gold coin had to be 10g and at least 50% gold), or everyone could make coins just as they wished?
