About The Royal Mint
The Royal Mint is the official mint of the United Kingdom and one of the most technically advanced minting facilities in the world. Using highly skilled artisans, the mint is legendary for the unsurpassed craftsmanship of its Proof coins and medallions. The history of The Royal Mint itself spans more than 1,000 unbroken years. Sir Isaac Newton held the esteemed post of Mint Master from 1699 to 1727, using his scientific genius to crack down on counterfeiters and maintain the purity of precious metals. The Royal Mint was originally established at the famous Tower of London, then moved into specially built premises at nearby Tower Hill, and finally relocated to its huge modern coining plant in South Wales. The Royal Mint continues as a department of government but, although its primary responsibility remains the provision of the United Kingdom coinage, its reputation for the world’s finest coins means that more than 50 other countries currently entrust the striking of their coinage to The Royal Mint.
