Germany. He was a famous coin maker whose precious coins you can find in some museum today.

Christian IV (reigned 1588-1648) was the firstDanish king to establish connections with Jews. This happened because he needed a Mint Master to run the Mint in the newly planned town of Gluckstadt on the Elbe and in 1619, Albert Dionis (Dinis) wasappointed to this post. Dinis, a Sephardi Jew, "of the Portuguese nation" as they came to be appointed in Denmark, had settled in Hamburg in 1605 where he developed an extensive import-export business. He opened offices to export grain, import & distribute sugar and salt (Boysalz) from the Bay of Biscay in Hamburg,
Glückstadt, Lubeck, Gdansk / Danzig. Business partners were Dirichsen and Gabriel de Valenca. Dionis thus became the first Jew to be issued a royal Danish letter of protection.

After consulting with Dionis in 1622, King Christian IV invited "Portuguese" Jews from Amsterdam and Hamburg to settle in Glückstadt in the hope that this town would compete with Hamburg. To attract enterprising merchants with disposable capital, a large number of trading privileges, as well as freedom of religion were offered. The privileges given to these Jews were extended several times until they gained freedom to trade in Denmark, and throughout the seventeenth century,delivered Luxembourg goods to the Danish court and arranged large loans to the Danes.

Encyclopedia Judaica;
Denis, Albertus (also known as Alavaro Diniz and his coreligionists as Samuel Yahya, c. 1580, 1645), court agent and mint master, one of the first members of the Portuguese Jewish community in Hamburg. In 1611, together with Andreas Falleiro and Ruy Fernando Cardoso, Denis bought the Altona cemetery for the Portuguese Jews of Hamburg (the bill of sale was countersigned by him on May 31, 1611). A year later, he was officially authorized to reside in Hamburg; In the city register of 1614 he is listed as the donor of "Twenty Marck Luebsch" to the Glückstadt church. Denis acted as Agent and Mint Master of Count Ernst of Schauenburg, and as such he incurred the enmityof the Hamburg authorities, who accused him of buying Reichsthaler coins minted in Hamburg and having them melted down in Altona. When the senate issued an order for his arrest, Denis took refuge in Altona and settled there under the protection of the count.

In 1618 King Christian IV ofDenmark put him in charge of the Glückstadt mint, but it operated later for only a few years. In Glückstadt Denis also built and owned two houses and helped introduce other Jews. He remained a member of the Portuguese community of Hamburg; as their representative, he applied in 1637 to Count Otto of Schauenburg for a further extension of the cemetery privilege. Denis' minting activities contributed to the first "Kipper und Wipper" period of galloping inflation caused by corruption of the coinage.

With the stabilization of finances, Denis became a large-scale sugar importer and an exporter of grain through the ports of Lubeck and Danzig, where he tried to gain a foothold for his agents-often his relatives. In 1625 he obtained the right of settlement for Portuguese Jews in Troppau and Jaegerndorf Silesia. In the 1630s he organized a news and information service for his Danish royal benefactor. His last activity was negotiating the 1643/4 settlement between Hamburg and Denmark, and he died in poverty soon after.

Alvaro Dionis, a leader of the Jewish community in the 17th century northern Germany, is discussed in The Book of Destiny: Toledot Charlap (p.410). His original name was Shmuel Ibn Yahya and another alias was Alberto de Nyes (the Nis). He is well documented in Jewish historical literature. All these sources are that he was not only a communal and religious leader but an important political and economic force in Hamburg, Glückstadt, Schleswig-Holstein, Lubeck, and Danzig. His influence expanded to Denmark and through much of Poland. He dominated the salt trade and was a Mint Master of several locations including Altona and Glückstadt. With all this, he was a dedicated Jew, while holding a municipal synagogue in his house. Continuing research has led to further conclusions about Alvaro Dionis. "
