Kremnica Mint was established in 1328 when Kremnica (Hungarian: Körmöcbánya) was promoted to a free royal town by the Hungarian King Charles Robert of Anjou; the mint issued several kinds of coins early on, of which the most successful was its ducat.

The aggregate value of this amount, measured at today's prices of gold, would be three billion US dollars (exclusive of the numismatic value).

As the Czecho-Slovak troops invaded Northern Hungary (current day Slovakia), the Károlyi government ordered to move the equipment and noble metal stock to Budapest.

The Hungarian Government started to mint the first coins with the faulty machines and worn-out dies in Csepel.

An exposition of minting is part of the coin shop and it also includes a remaining set of a historical striking machines - Vulkan.
