Special transatlantic 1/4oz two coin set. 2020 marks four hundred years since the Pilgrims travelled from England to the New World. The group of families crossed the Atlantic in a ship called the Mayflower in a gruelling ten week voyage, landing near Cape Cod in November 1620. As one of the earliest colonial vessels, this Mayflower has become a cultural icon in the history of the United States. The anniversary of its journey was the subject of a pair of coins, issued in tandem by The Royal Mint and the United States Mint. It’s a rare collaboration, celebrating a shared historical event. The US-based designer and illustrator Chris Costello is the artist behind this collection, including the UK £25 1/4oz coin which features the Mayflower at full sail with stylised waves below and a compass symbol amid the rigging, reminding us of the journey into the unknown. This is paired with Jody Clark’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. His design for the US $10 1/4oz coin features portrait of pilgrims to the obverse with Native Americans observing a ship to the reverse. Both coins are struck from 7.80 grams of 999.9 fine gold to proof standard. They each have a diameter of 22.00 millimetres. They are presented together in a case with an outer sleeve bearing the logos of both national mints. Enclosed is a joint certificate of authenticity confirming that this set is from a limited edition of just 500.

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.
