Numismatics for the Ears: The Royal Mint Museum Explores Britain’s Seafaring History in New Podcast
Numismatic experts at The Royal Mint Museum have taken to the depths of Britain’s maritime history to create a new podcast. The six-part series, available now on all major streaming platforms, takes listeners on a voyage to explore coins and their place on the high seas.
The Royal Mint Museum launches first-ever podcast series. Experts dive into Britain’s maritime history exploring “Coins and the Sea” in six 50-minute episodes. Image: © The Royal Mint Museum.
Hosted by The Royal Mint Museum’s leading experts Chris Barker, Susan Sandford, and David Mason, and featuring a range of subject matter experts, each episode lifts the curtain on a carefully curated collection of numismatic art, which is not accessible to the public.
Dr Kevin Clancy, Director of The Royal Mint Museum said: “From the ships depicted on the earliest coins struck by The Royal Mint, to the globe-spanning trade that built an empire, Britain and the money that built it has always been linked with naval traditions.
“In a first for The Royal Mint Museum, we are delighted to launch this six-part podcast series exploring the position of coins in our seafaring history.
“We are fortunate to have a vast and diverse collection here at The Royal Mint Museum, and we hope listeners are as fascinated by it as we are.”
The podcast is available to stream now on all major platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Image: © The Royal Mint Museum.
The Royal Mint Museum team has worked in partnership with a variety of institutions to develop the series including The British Museum, The National Museum of The Royal Navy, the Mary Rose Trust, the Newport Medieval Ship, and the Portland Museum.
The podcast is part of wider “Coins and the Sea” project, which includes a temporary exhibition at The Royal Mint Experience. Visitors can see unique sunken treasures recovered from shipwrecks, as well as the first coin produced by The Royal Mint depicting a ship, and Edward III’s golden noble.
