Commemorative Coins from The Royal Mint
For more than 1,100 years, we have been producing British coins. Through centuries of honing the craft of minting, we have acquired the finest knowledge and expertise, understanding all there is to know about coinage. Passing down traditional skills through generations, we have worked hard to maintain high minting standards alongside our knowledge regarding quality, materials, artistry and skills.
Themes and Collections
By celebrating the very best of British culture and history through coinage, we have delved into a vast selection of themes. Recently, subjects have included momentous British occasions, British monarchs, British music legends and well-loved characters, including the successful and treasured Harry Potter stories and The Snowman™ collections, alongside the memorial collection dedicated to the legacy of Her
Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Each year, we meticulously pick themes of historical and popular importance for our collection of commemorative coins. The collection is available in a wide range of alloys, including gold, silver, platinum and cupro-nickel, with each coin struck to the highest standard and finest quality.
Each coin, depending on the material being used, is struck a minimum of two times and can be struck up to five times to ensure the fine details of the design are captured on the coin. Our experts inspect each coin before they are available to collectors, ensuring that each coin meets our standard of excellence.
Collectable Coins
In recent years, demand for commemorative and collectable coins has grown thanks to our partnerships with popular organisations and licensors, such as the Post Office, Royal Mail, Tower of London and Bank of China. We are proud of our long-established relationships with retailers who wish to offer our premium products. Each year, we select themes of historical and popular importance for our collection of commemorative coins, adding to the sense of occasion for every event. Uncirculated, these coins are of the highest quality and are popular with collectors.
