I'm a simple man. I see Dan Snow, I click.
We,sir, are of one mind.
Facts brother, facts lol
I’m a simple woman. I see that stiff-upper-lippedness, chiseled jawline, and features of a public school lad and I click.
Bonus, there is history!
And wrote a generic comment
@@Icanbacktrailers Okay. I was being facetious. I don't know what got your knickers in a twist.
Another fantastic look at the Royal Mint by Dan Snow.
So fun to see Dan Snow and Chris Barker geek out over coins. We need more of this. We went to the royal mint on a recent trip to wales. The tour and exhibit are impressive will the ancient coins they have displayed. Also enjoyed the kings new definitive coins (circa 2023).
You steal owt decent?
You’ve took a very unusual subject with only a small amount of serious interest and turned it into a very enjoyable and fascinating watch!
The professionalism of Snow is always welcomed with the spark of curiosity he produces and the way you’ve gotten information out is captivating. You’ve taken a mediocre topic and made it very entertaining.
Seriously, your last few posts have been 10s. Well done History Hit
Nice video. I've always loved learning about coins and enjoyed collecting them
Fantastic insight into our coinage.
Great video, Dan.
I found an 1873 victorian Penny with a metal detector but its well worn
Thanks for the upload I realy enjoy numismatics
Great video.
I have a young gold sovereign from 1882 young Victoria’s face so interesting !
She was in her sixties in1882. You need to learn math.
@@busterbiloxi3833 Well, no, the image on the 1882 is a second "young head" portrait. Put another way, she looked about 25.
fascinating
I'm a wee bit of a royal jewels nerd, so I know that the two "crowns" Elizabeth II wore on British coins are the George IV State Diadem (made for George IV to be worn by monarchs, but subsequently only worn by Queens) identifiable by the Maltese crosses, and the Girls of Great Britain and Irland Tiara (made for a committee of aristocratic women who called themselves the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland as a wedding present for Mary of Teck, who was marrying the future George V, and given to then-Princess Elizabeth as a wedding present).
I would love to see the history of British Middle Ages coinage
It's interesting that Britain did not get Edward the 7th coins. In Canada, where I am from, I recall we did.
You mean Edward 8. Canada and the rest of the Empire had plenty of Edward 7. And I'm afraid, no. No Edward 8 portrait coins were issued anywhere. There were coins with his name on them issued in Africa, New Guinea and Fiji, all with a hole in the center and no portrait.
I wonder if the mint has a collection of Roman era coins, seeing as they would be so impactful throughout the history of England and its coins
Roman coins are not rare and are widely available on the private market
@mpwarrillow true but the mint could get some really nice ones
Fantastic video
7:21 The image shows the second young Victoria portrait. That original young head portrait was changed in 1874, and that second, slightly-aged portrait remained well into the 1880s, when Victoria was in her 60s.
Australian coins have had fauna for years, with the monarch’s head on the reverse. Cool 👍
The Royal Mint would make so much money if they issued an Edward VIII official restrike or special collector coin based on an original portrait die. Talk about leaving money on the table.
First time in British coinage history no heraldically lead coinage? So what about the 1973 50p piece with the crossed hands on the back? What about those with Peter Rabbit on the back, ssand what about those that ahve images depicting industry and battle commemorations?
I have many of these coins!
The 1p Charles Iii
The 5 p Chatles III
And last
A 10 p also.
So many of the coins look cleaned. Cleaning coins lessens their value (for those who are not collectors).
Our Culture and Heritage is Amazing 🏴🇮🇪🏴🏴
Coins were massively important, empires fail when the intrinsic value of then coins get debased.
Can you imagine a 22ct gold sovereign struck at 7 mints globally, debased to being struck in only 9ct gold, the absolute minimum to still be called gold.
Yes, I can imagine it. What’s your point?
Edward the V11 had coins with a crowned head.
Touching some of those rare coins without white gloves 😯
Gold does not react with human skin oils
Totally agree, people put gloves on to touch pokemon cards but not to touch these coins...
Baldwins, don't recommend using gloves as more coins are damaged by dropping them edge knocks etc than otherwise.
I have this American book on coin collecting which explains stuff like legend and stuff does the uk follow the same principles?
What`s the name of the backround song in the beginning?
Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People
The Ballad of King Midas the Miser.
@@busterbiloxi3833 Nawh, it’s The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson ... listen to it. Duh 🙄
Many collectors were disappointed with the 5p not following Kruger Gray's designs having on George V coinage having 6 acorns and oak leaves on the 6d and 3 on the 3d, thus should have had 5 acorns etc on the 5p?
Take the coin. Throw it into the river. Good day mate.
I love coins 🪙
Actually,emperors=kings.The Charles III coins should feature wild cats & European water voles,as they are endangered in the UK.
Edward the 8th I mean.
The double eagle in America worth 18.8 million 😊
That guy is the most British man I've ever seen in my life.
What is tthe name of the background music from artlist?
It's a shame that in a few years almost nobody will be using coins. But that's just the way it goes.
Not any time soon.
I don't want to sound pessimistic or anything, but what's the point in minting new coins now that the current monarch will most likely kick the bucket before the project gets finished?
Because we need new coins to keep up with demand and to replace worn down coins. That will happen no matter what age or health the king is in
Errr there are a number of coins more expensive than this coin ....
He would not be touching a real coin without gloves
He would because he’s a complete douchebag.
91st
The official portraits of Elizabeth 2 & Charles 3 have one 'striking' difference 😉
The Queen, facing right, is 'looking forwards '
The King, facing left, is 'looking backwards'
I really don't want to collect any coins with C3 on them.
Am i going to see a coin worth millions?
Yes. The Canadian 1,000 kilo gold coin.
The power of coinage is literally Biblical.
"Who's face is on this coin?"
"Render unto Ceasar what belongs to Caesar. Render unto God what belongs to God."
-- Jesus Christ.
Hob about we stop putting kings and queens on coins
WAR IS EVIL
They sure added some hair on old Charles there.Wonder how much William gets when it s his turn?
Clickbait garbage.
£1 million is not the most expensive coin in the world or even close.
The *American* 1933 Double Eagle is the most expensive coin in the world.
It seems a waste to change it all the time.
Not really. They have to make new coins every year anyway, and obviously people can still spend the old money with the Queen, so it's economic impact is minimal.
😂 should be Jimmy Savile on the reverse.
Or a Catholic priest
Tony Bliar is the next Head of the WEF, he wants to be Cromwell, He wanted to be the Head of the EU , that's Collapsing Too .🏴🇮🇪🏴🏴
It was Keir Starmer who was the Head of the CPS, who Refused to Prosecute Saville and the Grooming Gang's.
Gary Glitter
Who?
Its not the real king the wane be King it's the Devil himself
That's some crack you are smoking.
The hell are you babbling about? lol
I wonder how long before the coins have the Prophet Muhammad on them....I guess 30 years...
Totally Disgusting 😡
Since images of the prophet are banned in islam, thats not gonna happen.
Maybe you should learn something about a religion before making stupid, bigoted remarks.
Wait what? Loathsome inept Charles is going to be on a coin?
Does it come as a big surprise to you that The King is going to be on the coins?
Wokey charles what a clown
He already is, punk!
@@LarsPallesen It would be an even bigger surprise if he appeared on banknotes too.
Privatise the Monarchy
You mean sell it to the highest bidder (in the best case)?
Or what the history of privatisation tells us, sell it by the most corrupt to the most morally bankrupt?
Unless you want Britain to transition from a constitutional monarchy to an absolute monarchy because you 100% know you'd be such a good bootlicker that you and your family's future would be secured - that'd be the worst decision in the history of the British Isles in at least a thousand years.
Abolish the monarchy
And trust a revolving door of dictators?
Better the devil you know.
@@Bridget410 there doesn’t need to be a dictatorship because politicians should be elected by the people.
@@ikematthews6866 Rishi Sunak wasn't elected, came in through the back door.
@@Bridget410 I didn’t say he was, I’m saying they should be elected like in America.
@@ikematthews6866
Nixon - Watergate.
Warren G. Harding - Bribery & Corruption.
Ulysses S. Grant - Whiskey Ring Scandal & Credit Mobilier Scandal.
Ronald Reagan - Secret sale of weapons to Iran in an unsuccessful attempt to win freedom for U.S. hostages.
Bill Clinton - Monica Lewinsky.
Ted Kennedy - Death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
What a load of horseshit.
yea imagine gobbling this garbage up as a citizen of the UK
EricdMMiller: Yet here you are watching the video, how very strange.
@@StevenKeery yea idk what he was talking about but me personally i was talking about how the citizens of the UK still have a monarchy and the people don't govern themselves through democratically elected people
