Tower Mint London – Guest of Honor 2026

The private mint Tower Mint, based in London, will be the official Guest of Honour at the World Money Fair in Berlin in 2026. As the last remaining mint in London, Tower Mint has stood for British craftsmanship, creative excellence, and advanced minting techniques since 1976. Founded by the renowned sculptor Raphael Maklouf – best known for his portrait of Queen Elizabeth II – Tower Mint looks back on five decades of history minted in metal.

Operating from its production site in London, Tower Mint produces coins and collections for government partners, dealers, and collectors around the globe. At the core of its success lies the building of trusted relationships and long-term collaborations – together with governments, clients, and partners, the mint creates coins of meaning, cultural value, and lasting relevance.
Every coin tells a story, commemorates milestones, and embodies authenticity, artistry, and integrity in each strike. They celebrate national achievements, cultural highlights, and personal accomplishments. Each piece reflects the pursuit of perfection – a blend of artistic mastery and state-of-the-art minting technology.

As it embarks on a new chapter, Tower Mint is reinforcing its role as a modern, dynamic mint – driven by innovation, artisanal quality, and a global network of valued partners.

The Future of Modern Minting

Since 1976, Tower Mint has evolved into one of the world’s leading private mints – known for its craftsmanship, innovation, and reliable partnerships. Its journey into numismatics began with its closest and longest-standing partner, Gibraltar. Today, the mint collaborates with multiple governments, including the Isle of Man, the Pitcairn Islands, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia. Together they create legal tender that reflects regional heritage and global events.

Under the leadership of Elliot Dawson, Tower Mint continues to develop – investing in modern technology, expanding international partnerships, and applying innovative production techniques, all while preserving the rich legacy of British minting artistry.
Over five decades, Tower Mint has earned a reputation for exceptional quality and precision – both in collector coins and medals – combining traditional craftsmanship, innovation, and high production capacity.

In 2026, Tower Mint will celebrate its 50th anniversary and is honoured to mark this milestone as Guest of Honor at the World Money Fair in Berlin – a significant occasion to set new standards in minting and to showcase its premium products to international collectors and industry experts.
