The King’s face is on the silver, but the Mint Master’s life is on the line. Inside the heavily guarded Tower, the furnaces are melting the wealth of the nation. Tonight, we make money.

This 2-hour sleep story takes you inside the high-security, metallic world of a Medieval Mint Master (Coiner). Experience the metallurgy required to turn raw silver ore into the currency of the realm. Watch the casting of the "ingots," the shearing of the "blanks," and the high-pressure engraving of the hardened steel dies that stamp the King’s profile.

Listen to the rhythmic clink-clink-clink of the silver discs being weighed, the roar of the refining furnace, the satisfying thwack of the hammer striking the die, and the cascading sound of thousands of finished pennies pouring into oak chests. We explore the "Trial of the Pyx" (the ancient ceremony to test purity), the crime of "clipping," and why Mint Masters were often the richest—and most endangered—men in the kingdom. This is a story of silver, hammers, and value.

Topics Covered:

The Standards: The "Sterling" standard (92.5% silver) and how it was tested with fire (Assaying).

The Crime: "Clipping" (shaving edges off coins) and the harsh punishments for counterfeiters.

The Tech: How hardened steel dies were engraved with negative images using punches.

The Trial: The "Trial of the Pyx," where a jury of goldsmiths tested the King's coins.
