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).

@DallingerM Месяц назад

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

@teholympian Месяц назад

So many of the coins look cleaned. Cleaning coins lessens their value (for those who are not collectors).

@thepagecollective Месяц назад

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.

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.

@jennycox4463 Месяц назад

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).

@johnlee4897 6 дней назад

The most expensive coin in the world was a 1933 $20 USA double eagle achieving an auction record of $18.9 million. I don't think the Edward VIII proof sovereign would get anywhere near that but I do suspect it would now sell in excess of £1 million if auctioned. Totally unique and historically valuable. I squirmed when I saw how Dan was handling it, elevated with no gloves and about to drop it any second, thus damaging it's proof finish.

@timber72 2 дня назад

Looks like the "caretakers" of the Royal Mint have already damaged it over the years. Of course, the 1849 $20...if sold...would bring more, but it's impounded at the Smithsonian, so no dice.

It's interesting that Britain did not get Edward the 7th coins. In Canada, where I am from, I recall we did.

@thepagecollective Месяц назад

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.

@harryzero1566 Месяц назад

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.

@busterbiloxi3833 Месяц назад

Yes, I can imagine it. What’s your point?

@Styphon Месяц назад

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.

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

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.
