Each coin we stamp is a genuine demonetised coin which has been sourced and purchased by Dormouse and The Teapot from within the UK. We operate under license by HM Treasury.
We stamp each letter of your chosen phrase individually by hand using traditional tools and methods in our little workshop situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors. It is then carefully cleaned and polished, before being wrapped up in our pretty tissue paper, tape and stickers.
Each piece is unique so the picture you see above is only a representative example of this piece, we cannot guarantee a year of minting for this piece.
