Title

British Royal Mint - Manufacturer and distributor of collector coins, medals, jewellery and gifts

Description

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 producing the world's finest coins means that more than 100 countries have entrusted the striking of their coinage to the Royal Mint.

The history of the British Royal Mint itself can be traced back more than a thousand years there being an unbroken link from the scattered workshops of the moneyers of Anglo-Saxon London to a single mint within the Tower of London to purpose-built premises at Tower Hill and finally to the huge modern coining plant in South Wales.

On 1 April 1975 we were established as a Government Trading Fund, operationally very similar to a government-owned company. For many years over half our sales have gone overseas and, in recognition, the Queen's Award for Export Achievement has been awarded on four occasions. On the 1st of April 1990 the Royal Mint became an Executive Agency providing it with greater management freedom to develop its business further. Indeed the British Royal Mint has maintained its position as the world's leading exporting Mint.
