What Is The Royal Mint British Monarchs Series?
British coinage provides a fascinating insight into the reigns of the nation's monarchs, documenting developments in politics, art and technology across the centuries. The Royal Mint are celebrating this rich legacy with a new series focusing on the royals whose faces have graced our currency.
Billed as a five-year series, the British Monarchs collection will feature 21 Kings and Queens, starting with Tudor dynasty. The series kicked off with a collection featuring King Henry VII in early 2022. Three further releases are slated for this year including coins starring James I, George I and Edward VII: all the first monarchs of their respective houses. The British Monarchs series is projected to run until 2026.

Who Was King Edward VII?
Edward VII became King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, plus the British Dominions and Emperor of India following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria, in 1901. During the next decade, Edward oversaw the modernisation of the British Army and lent his popularity and political influence to foster good relations across the channel. We call his time on the throne the Edwardian Era after him: a period noted for significant social and technological change.
Throughout Edward VII’s short reign his British coins featured a right-facing portrait of the King by a Birmingham-born engraver named George William de Saulles. De Saulles had previously worked on Queen Victoria’s coinage and is also known for his British Trade Dollar designs. De Saulles’ portrait of Edward shows the King facing right with short-cropped hair and a full beard. The portrait is truncated at the neck and de Saulles' initials - 'De S' - appear below.

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.
