The Royal Mint

The Royal Mint is the official coin maker of the United Kingdom, with a legacy stretching back over 1,100 years. Originally established in 886 AD, it has evolved from its early days at the Tower of London to its modern facility in Llantrisant, South Wales, where it relocated in 1968. Renowned globally, the Royal Mint produces not only the UK’s circulating coins but also coins for many other countries.

Its offerings include bullion products made from gold, silver, and platinum, alongside commemorative and collectible coins. Some of its most iconic designs, such as Britannia and the Queen’s Beasts series, celebrate British heritage and craftsmanship. The Royal Mint is also a leader in sustainability, incorporating recycled materials and eco-friendly production methods into its operations.
