THE BRITISH MONARCHS COLLECTION
Remaking History
As one of the oldest working mints in the world, we have produced coins for a plethora of regal dynasties throughout our 1,100-year history, including some of the most legendary monarchs to wear the crown. The British Monarchs Collection uniquely celebrates these iconic kings and queens by providing a numismatic snapshot of their respective reigns through coin designs of yesteryear.
“From the early concept stages, we were looking at how we could reproduce these classic coins in a way that would faithfully match the style of the original. We didn’t want to make them appear too modern and approached the project from a viewpoint where we would try to produce a coin to the best quality possible at that point in history.”
Gordon Summers, Chief Engraver
Remastering Iconic Designs
Utilising genuine historical samples coupled with state-of-the-art technology and numismatic processes, our master craftspeople have faithfully recreated these classic designs just as they would have appeared during each monarch’s respective reign.
Tracing the Crown
The unrivalled legacy of the Crown provides captivating tales of power, tragedy and triumph for a fascinating insight into British royalty.
