The Royal Mint has today submitted 6,432 coins for testing at the UK’s oldest judicial ceremony, the Trial of the Pyx, at Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City of London.
A highlight of this year’s submission is a silver sixpence made from silver recovered from expired medical and industrial x-ray films.

Former Prime Warden of The Goldsmiths’ Company Dr. Timothy Schroder remembers Dame Rosalind Savill 1951-2024. Director of the Wallace Collection from 1992 to 2011, specialist on 18th-century Sèvres porcelain, and “perhaps the best Prime Warden we never had”.
