History of the Royal Mint
The Royal Mint is the world's leading producer of coins and medals and has an incredible history that dates back over 1,100 years. It was originally established in 886 A.D. during the reign of Alfred the Great, who aimed to unite England under a single coinage system. Since then, it has gone on to produce some of the most iconic coins ever created such as the sovereign, which was first minted in 1489 and is still produced today; or the Britannia Coin Series which began in 1987. In 1968, it moved from its original location in Tower Hill to its current home at Llantrisant in South Wales where all British circulating coins are now produced.
Not only has the Royal Mint been responsible for producing all British circulating coins since 1968, but it has also produced the coins of more than 90 countries across the world. Furthermore, it is responsible for creating some of the most popular commemorative coins and collector's items, such as the Olympic 50p piece which was first issued in 1997 and was so successful that it subsequently released a new design each year up until 2012.
