About this title

Synopsis

Coins are part of our daily lives. They are at once the most commonplace and yet significant symbols of a country. This book seeks to illuminate what lies behind the design of coins, celebrating the skill and creativity of artists and designers who have given us such beautiful objects. For over 1000 years the Royal Mint has produced the nation's currency and today, no less than in the past, stands at the centre of the art of coin design
