Historical coin press from the 18th century in the courtyard of Friedenstein Castle in Gotha.
Coin and medal minting devices that function according to the spindle press principle are referred to as impact mechanisms or balancers. While impact minting machines together with other technical innovations largely replaced hammer minting, they were overhauled by the knuckle-joint press even in the 19th century. Further historical designations for the impact unit are screw impact unit, spindle unit, pressure unit and throw-off.
