- Disclaimer: these Wax Seal Coins were created from steel dies that were intentionally designed to mimic the worn-down, much-loved appearance of an ancient coin that has seen the inside of many generations of pockets. To achieve this look, engravings have shallow profiles that make the design appear more subtle in the corresponding Wax Seal Coin.

Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
