Abstract(s)
A Casa da Moeda do Porto foi uma instituição chave da coroa no Norte do país. Exercendo sobretudo um papel de afirmação do poder central. Laborou entre o final do século XIV e 1721, com um período de suspensão entre 1607 e 1688. As escavações arqueológicas na Casa do Infante, sobretudo a partir de 1990, vieram trazer à superfície um conjunto de estruturas e materiais relacionados com a produção monetária portuense, permitindo fazer uma nova abordagem sobre o trabalho naquelas oficinas, dando a conhecer um pouco de um universo de organização proto-industrial ainda pouco conhecido no nosso país.
Oporto’s Mint, in the royal infrastructures in the Ribeira was a government key institution in all the North of Portugal. It played a major role in the dynamization process of central monarchy power, in Lisbon, between the late 14th century, until 1721 (it was suspended between 1607 to 1688). Archaeological excavations in Casa do Infante revealed an important set of structures and materials related with the mint production, bringing to our days a new insight vision of the techniques and the social organization of the Mint, revealing a not so known proto-industrial universe in Portugal.
