"Here are some more photos from the Royal Mint Experience. I visited and also took the tour in 2017. At the time, you could strike your own one-pound coin and I did. I'd have to look for it though! The second image is that of a Janvier
reducing lathe and the last is of gold and silver trial plates of known fineness to ensure the precious metal coinage was up to specs. "
Thanks. Great reasons to plan a visit to Llantrisant, Wales as travel resumes. -Editor
