EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to the Royal Mint during the reign of King George II (1727-1760). The scene showcases a press and dies, essential tools used in the production of coins during this era. The Royal Mint, an institution that traces its history back over a thousand years, played a pivotal role in the economic and political life of England. During the time of George II, the mint was located in the heart of London, in the Tower Hill area. The press and dies depicted in the photograph were likely used to create the intricate designs and inscriptions that adorned the coins of the day. The press, a large, heavy piece of machinery, is shown with its flywheel at the back, while the dies, the engraved plates used to transfer designs onto the blank coins, are arranged on the bed of the press. The dies in this image are for the production of shillings, which bore the image of King George II on the obverse and the shields of England and Scotland on the reverse. The process of coin production involved placing a blank coin between the dies and then applying pressure using the flywheel. The dies would transfer the design onto the coin, creating a beautifully detailed and intricate piece of currency. The coins were then cleaned, inspected for quality, and sorted before being distributed throughout the kingdom. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of the Royal Mint and the intricate process of coin production during the time of George II. It is a reminder of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating the currency of the day, and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Royal Mint.
