    The Royal Mint

    The Royal Mint is the national mint of the United Kingdom, responsible for producing all of the country's coins. With a history spanning over a thousand years, it has become one of the oldest and most respected mints in the world.

    Originally located in London, The Royal Mint relocated to Wales in the mid-20th century. Despite this change in location, the Royal Mint continues the tradition of British coin production, dating back to 886 AD.


    The Royal Mint is renowned for its high level of craftsmanship and innovation. In 2020, it was granted a patent for its "SecureSurface" technology, which enhances the security of gold and silver coins by preventing counterfeiting and allowing easy verification of the coin’s authenticity. All bullion coins are struck with incredible precision and quality, making Royal Mint coins highly popular among collectors and investors worldwide.


    The Royal Mint is also dedicated to education and raising awareness about coinage and monetary history. It operates its own museum, where visitors can explore the rich history of minting in Britain and learn how coins are made and tested. With its millennium-long history of coin production and continued commitment to innovation and exceptional quality, The Royal Mint stands as a true symbol of British tradition and craftsmanship.
