Specifically, I’m talking about their signet rings, seals, etc.
Couldn’t someone just make a copy? Or make one that looks extremely similar?
Imagine “hacking” the king. You could start wars or do whatever you wanted just by getting a letter sent somewhere.
I understand it’s not as easy as it sounds and one would have to first obtain said seal or wax imprint from a letter or something but I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it being done.
EDIT: Anyone else now wanna see a movie get made about someone (or some team) pulling off a ‘heist’ like this?? Obviously set back in the olden days.

Signet rings and etc were done by engravers. Every country usually had single digit number of these craftsmen who usually only had a equally small handful of students.
Usually these craftsmen. Engravers, Painters, and weapon smiths were not only guarded, but also watched and not allowed to leave their city or town of work. As them defecting or getting captured can have disastrous effects on currency and like you said, false information.
