Coins and medals




The Royal Mint over the centuries has made all the United Kingdom coinage and is known around the world for its heritage, high quality of coins, and state-of-the art technology. These attributes make the Royal Mint one of the world’s leading manufacturers of coins and medals. The institution’s roots go back 1000 years and today is symbolized by a modern logo; a depiction of the crowned Royal Arms surrounded by a repeating pattern. It is said that when you make a purchase from the Royal Mint, you are not just buying a coin, you own a piece of history. The Royal Mint is known for making beautiful handcrafted coins and medals for countries all over the world.
