Britain’s Royal Mint has started to manufacture
gold sovereign coins in India for the first time in almost 100 years, it said
on Monday.
Indian residents have been unable to buy commemorative
sovereigns since 1918, when the Royal Mint operated a branch in the country,
producing 1.3 million coins in a single year.
The first production run will be for 50,000 pieces and
will be available in the market immediately, the Royal Mint said in a
statement that coincided with British Prime Minister David Cameron’s
visit to India.
The commemorative sovereigns will be produced by Indian
gold producer MMTC-PAMP using tools and techniques developed by the Royal
Mint in its South Wales facility.
