Gold sovereign coins from the British Royal Mint have been struck every year since 650 C.E. At that time there were several mints across the country. Around 1540, the remaining mints closed and the Royal Mint we know today was the only left in operation. In 1663, striking coins by hand was finally abandoned with the introduction of screw presses and horse-drawn rolling mills.A History Lesson Through Sovereign Coins
