Background

Travel back to the early 18th century, a time when Britain took its first steps toward embracing the gold standard. In 1717, the eminent scientist and Master of The Royal Mint, Sir Isaac Newton, played a pivotal role in recommending a fixed value for Britain's gold guinea coin, based on its weight of gold. This momentous decision marked the birth of Britain's gold standard, where coins held steadfast and standardized values linked to their precious metal content. The stability and elegance of this historic monetary system remain cherished, offering insight into the complexities of modern currency.

Dominique Evans, the brilliant mind behind this design, shares a personal connection to it. She draws inspiration from her grandfather, a bank manager, who possessed a set of scales from the bank. These scales have now become an integral part of the coin's design, a homage to her grandad's legacy and her own pursuit of dreams.
