The Royal Mint and RNLI join forces to celebrate 200 years of lifesaving

This special coin created by The Royal Mint to mark the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's (RNLI) 200th anniversary, offers a unique opportunity to commemorate two centuries of lifesaving work.

A special coin has been created by The Royal Mint to mark the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s (RNLI) 200th anniversary, offering a unique opportunity to commemorate two centuries of lifesaving work.

A percentage of the proceeds from each commemorative coin will be donated by The Royal Mint to the RNLI, supporting the vital work of the charity’s lifeboat crews and lifeguards.

The ‘Strike Your Own’ coin experience has been a highlight at The Royal Mint this month, with visitors learning more about the RNLI’s incredible history and current lifesaving efforts, whilst being given the opportunity to strike their very own edition of the coin.

Earlier this month, RNLI volunteers from Barry Dock and Penarth Lifeboat Stations were the first to strike a commemorative 50p coin during the launch event. Visitors to The Royal Mint were able to meet the lifeboat volunteers, hear their stories and learn important water safety advice, including the RNLI’s Float to Live campaign.

Andy Gavan, Coxswain at Barry Dock RNLI said:

“It’s been fantastic to see so many people supporting the RNLI by striking their own coin at The Royal Mint Experience.

“With only a week left, we encourage anyone who wants a unique opportunity to strike their own coin, to head to The Royal Mint in Llantrisant before the end of the month!

"We extend a huge thank you to The Royal Mint for their generous contribution from the proceeds, which will play a vital role in supporting our lifesaving work along the coast.”

Don’t miss your chance to take part in this unique experience before it closes!
