Colour printed Royal Mint Portraits of Britain set from 2018, celebrating the great British seaside. This series, begun in 2014, celebrates the iconic landmarks and landscapes of Britain across a range of Crown-sized commemorative coins, available exclusively in sterling silver. The coins in this 2018 collection focus on the UK’s most famous coastal towns. First up is (1) Blackpool, known for its annual illuminations and Blackpool Tower which opened way back in 1894. The second coin features (2) Brighton Pier, the heart of this south-coast resort that has long attracted artists and eccentrics. Third is a row of brightly painted huts on (3) Southwold Beach in North Suffolk: the subject of many a picture postcard. Rounding out the set is the harbour at (4) Tenby in Pembrokeshire. Originally a fortress then a Georgian holiday town, picturesque Tenby has a timeless appeal. These four coins all benefit from a wash of colour (achieved with trichromatic printing) accentuating the designs that are all the work of Glyn Davies. Each piece bears Jody Clark’s official portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to the obverse. All the coins in the set are struck in 28.28 grams of .925 sterling silver to The Royal Mint's proof standard. With a face value of £5 / Five Pounds, these commemorative Crowns have a diameter of 38.61 millimetres. The set comes in a premium presentation box, the coins enclosed in individual capsules. An information booklet is enclosed alongside a certificate of authenticity, confirming that this is one of just 1,500 Portrait of Britain sets issued in 2017.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom's coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renown for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.

A Millennia of Minting

Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.

The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.

In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.

Collecting and Investing

The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.

Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.

The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.

We're based in Royal Wootton Bassett, a historic market town in beautiful Wiltshire. If the name rings a bell it's probably because you remember how the community honoured those soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 'Royal' in the name was granted in 2011 to recognise this.

Our new showroom – opened in 2020 – is located in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett in a grand, old bank building. Inside you can view our stock, as well as jewellery and collectibles from several local antique dealers. Look out for the Old Bank Antiques sign and come on in.
