Behind The Scenes At The Royal Mint

SD Bullion travels to Wales for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the revival of one of Britain’s most historic iconic coin designs — from centuries-old Angel coins and royal ceremonies to the striking of brand-new gold and silver Angels on the minting floor itself. As a modern bullion collector, getting an all-access pass inside The Royal Mint felt like stepping directly into living history. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes adventure, SD Bullion CEO Chase Turner and COO Cole Keller travel to Wales to witness the creation of the brand-new Angel bullion coin series from concept to striking floor. Along the way, Chase sits down with Royal Mint historian Chris Barker to uncover the incredible medieval story behind the original Angel coins, including royal healing ceremonies and centuries-old gold pieces once worn for protection. The tour also features conversations with Andrew Dickey, Director of Precious Metals, and Chief Engraver Gordon Summers, who reveal how The Royal Mint blends historic symbolism with cutting-edge bullion security and modern engraving artistry. From watching molten history become freshly struck gold Angels to actually starting the minting press themselves, this is the kind of collector experience you dream about your entire life.
