Summary/Abstract: History of enterprises or so-called short history becomes the centre of attention just these days. So it was with the Kremnica Mint which rightly belongs to the phenomena not so common in the world. That is a reason why it is necessary to work on a comprehensive work dedicated to the whole history and gradually fill in the empty spaces. Relatively short period of the Slovak State had brought a large number of events that had changed the functioning of the mint for a long time, e.g. involvement in the SNU, evacuation of metals and the destruction of the mint and Kremnica in 1945. Beside these important events, it is necessary to point out the position of various nations in the enterprise and the behavior towards them. An interesting chapter describes the influence of the state on the mint and the involvement of Imrich Karvaš, who was important for several plans to prepare the economic side of the SNU, where the mint played a key role.
