One of the UK’s leading coin specialists Hattons of London has offered a rare behind the scenes look at the making of one of its ranges designed to commemorate aspects of Her Majesty the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
The video depicts the minting of the solid 22 carat gold King George VI Tribute range, which feature portraits of the late King on one side and his daughter Queen Elizabeth II on the other. The extremely limited number of coins (less than 300) were minted on February 6th to mark the sad death of King George which in turn began the process of the then young Princess Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne.
