The world's largest coin fair, World Money Fair, which moved from Basel to the German capital in 2006, will celebrate "20 years" of success in Berlin in 2026 and will once again present a private mint as guest of honor with Tower Mint from London. As the last active mint in the British capital, Tower Mint has stood for a unique combination of traditional craftsmanship, artistic excellence, and technological innovation since 1976.

Founded by renowned sculptor Raphael Maklouf, known for his portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, Tower Mint has been minting coins of lasting cultural and historical significance for five decades under the motto: “Minted in London. Treasured worldwide.”

From the heart of London, the Tower Mint produces high-quality circulation and commemorative coins as well as medals for government institutions, dealers, and collectors worldwide. Partnerships with governments such as Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, the Pitcairn Islands, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia testify to a strong international network. Every coin has a story to tell – be it a national milestone, cultural heritage, or personal event – minted with precision, integrity, and artistic flair.

"With the invitation as ‘Guest of Honor,’ we highlight a mint and its products every year to raise awareness of them in the international numismatic scene. Under the leadership of Managing Director Elliot Dawson, the Tower Mint has developed into a forward-looking, dynamic mint," says Goetz-Ulf Jungmichel, Managing Director of the World Money Fair. Investments in state-of-the-art technology, the expansion of global cooperation, and innovative production techniques ensure sustainable success – without forgetting the roots of British coinage.

"We are delighted to be the guest of honor at the upcoming World Money Fair as a private mint and to share our products, technologies, and innovations with international partners and collectors. We are celebrating five decades of Tower Mint, looking forward to the future with enthusiasm, and continuing the history of British craftsmanship, global collaboration, and enduring excellence," says Tower Mint Managing Director Elliot Dawson.

With its 50th anniversary in 2026, Tower Mint is not only marking a significant milestone in the company's history but also underlining its claim to play a key role in shaping the future of modern coin minting.

The World Money Fair 2026 will take place from Thursday, January 29 to Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the Estrel Congress Center in Berlin.
