royal treasury
Monarch's money vault
A royal treasury is the repository of a monarch's wealth and the institution that manages it.
Historically, this meant both the physical vaults holding gold, jewels, and currency, and the administrative body collecting taxes and paying crown expenses.
The war depleted the royal treasury.
Modern constitutional monarchies typically separate state finances from any remaining royal treasury.
