Gifts Made to Last

If you are looking for a special something to welcome a new addition, look no further. The Royal Mint has a wonderful selection of beautifully crafted baby gifts and coins that would make the perfect welcome gift for a new arrival.

People have been giving gifts to newborns for centuries, commonly in the form of silver. The traditional choice was a silver coin, which was seen as an object of good luck. During the Victorian period, people began to give silver trinkets as christening gifts and the tradition still continues to this day.

In keeping with this custom, our range of baby gifts includes the traditional gift of a Lucky Silver Penny, alongside more contemporary gifts such as our Minty® Piggy Bank and the ever-popular Farthing – The Royal Mint’s official teddy bear.
