  • Master of the Mint is a title within the Royal Mint given to the most senior person responsible for its operation. It was an important office in the governments of Scotland and England, and later Great Britain and then the United Kingdom, between the 16th and 19th centuries. Until 1699, appointment was usually for life. Its holder occasionally sat in the cabinet. During the interregnum (1643–1660) the last Master of the Mint to King Charles, Sir Robert Harley, transferred his allegiance to Parliament and remained in office. After his death in 1656 was appointed. In 1870 the role was amalgamated into the office of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, making the Chancellor, by virtue of his position, the Master of the Mint. The duty of running the mint was given to the Deputy Master of the Mint; who is now the mint's Chief Executive. (en)
  • Il maestro di zecca o più anticamente mastro di zecca, era un incarico fondamentale nella gestione di una zecca, titolo concesso solitamente al direttore di uno stabilimento di produzione di monete. Il termine di "maestro di zecca", pur essendo stato utilizzato sino all'Ottocento, di fatti affonda le proprie radici nel medioevo e si radica profondamente per tutto il Rinascimento, ovvero in quei periodi storici in cui uno stato aveva generalmente più di una zecca. I maestri di zecca divennero figure ancora più esclusive con la formazione degli stati nazionali dove i nuovi governi cercarono di centralizzare le zecche, solitamente nelle capitali. Generalmente, al maestro di zecca erano demandati, oltre a vari compiti amministrativi e di gestione dello stabilimento della zecca, anche quelli relativi a nuove proposte di monete da sottoporre poi al giudizio del ministero competente in materia (generalmente quello delle finanze o del tesoro) ma soprattutto al giudizio ultimo e definitivo del sovrano.
