There was a great deal of variation in who made coins, even within a single country.
All coinage of most countries was at least theoretically under the control of the king. The kings delegated authority to make coins to moneyers, or mint masters, but also to some other people, such as counts or bishops.
In some places a count or bishop was regarded as having a right to mint money.
When it comes to gold, however, controls became a bit tighter. Kings did not usually like to grant authority over the minting of gold coins easily, and so had the minting done by an officer under closer control. There were very often times when no gold coinage was made at all in large kingdoms. In England there were centuries without gold coinage.
