unnecessary surveillance over the money struck by
the Chatelain. See
Cat. Robert, 1886, No. 72.
Dreux, Eure-et-Loir, a mint of Philip
I. and Louis VI. of France, and
of a seigniorial coinage of the Counts of D., 1137-1365, which followed
the regal types. One piece of Odo or Eudes II., Count of Chartres, etc.,
1004-37, is an imitation of the money then current in his other Countship
of Chartres.
Driburg, Pruss. Westphalia, a seigniorial mint, I3th c., and one of the
Bishops of Paderborn. Ibvrch Civitas.
Drontheim (Nidaros, Throndhjeni], an early Norwegian mint, where
the Archbishop had a right of coinage in 1220. There are coins of
several of these prelates, I5th-i6th c., with their names and titles, coupled
with those of the King.
Duisburg, or Doesborgh, Prussia, a mint of the Emperor Conrad II.,
1024-39.
Dulmen, Pruss. Westphalia, the source of copper coins from 1590 to
1625, with a trefoil cross. There is a piece of 6 pfenningen with Stadt
Dulmen, 1622.
Dun-sur-Meuse (Dvnvm}, diocese of Verdun, the mint where, in or
about 1354, the date of his concession from the Emperor Charles IV., the
Sieur d'Aspremont is supposed to have struck money in gold and silver
according to the terms of instructions delivered to his moneyer, Lambert
de Namur. No remains are at present known. A mint of the early
Bishops of Verdun. See Verdun.
Durbuy, Luxemburgh, a mint of Henry IV., Count of Luxemburgh,
1280-88. Dvrbvcesis.
Durstede, Doorsted, or Wijk-bij-Dtirstede, Utrecht (Latin Dorestatus],
a somewhat prolific Merovingian and Carlovingian mint during a period
extending from the 6th- 1 2th c. The examples belonging to the earlier
era vary considerably in style and execution, and some were, no doubt,
clumsy imitations. A denier of Charlemagne with Carlvs Rex and Set
Martini Monet a, found here, has been attributed to Tours. The
moneyers of Durstede, like those of Belgium at a later date, seem to
have worked at other places in the same province, and to have gone on
circuit. The names of Adalbertus and Madelinus have come down to
us. The coins of this place are of very unequal merit, and some may
be counterfeits by unskilful workmen.
Diisseldorf, Prussia, a mint of the Dukes of Berg in the I7th c.
Ebstorf, or Ebsdorf, near Liineburg, one of the earliest mints of the
Dukes of Saxony, loth-nth c., if indeed it was not actually the first.
Probably the most ancient examples have yet to be identified.
Ebusus, or Ivi$a, one of the Baleares, the name found on a special
Spanish currency from Charles I. (V. of Germany) to Charles II. (1520-
1
700) with Vniv. Ebvsi Dns.
Eenaeme, Belgium, the seat of a small coinage of deniers in the i2th c.,
with Egamio.
Eger, or Egra, Bohemia, the source of a tin kreutzer of 1743, during
the operations of the siege.
Eggenberg, or Egenburg, Lower Austria, the seat of an independent
lordship in the I7th c., though now possessing a very small population
and no importance. The money of the Counts of Egenburg and Gratz,
Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, was struck here or at Gratz in the
1
7th c. (1623-86). There are some rare thalers in the series.
