Soho Mint was created by Matthew Boulton in 1788 in his Soho Manufactory (grid reference SP051890) in Handsworth, West Midlands, England. A mint was erected at the manufactory containing eight machines, to his own patent design, driven by steam engine, each capable of striking 70 to 85 coins per minute. After the demise of the Soho Mint some of the machinery was bought at auction, in 1850, by the new Birmingham Mint of Ralph Heaton II.

  • Die Soho Mint war eine in der Nähe von Birmingham gelegene, private Münzstätte. Die Soho Mint gehörte Matthew Boulton, der dort zusammen mit James Watt 1786 die ersten dampfgetriebenen Prägemaschinen weltweit installierte. Eine weitere Innovation war mit dem Engagement von Jean-Pierre Droz verbunden, dem Erfinder der Ringprägung. In der Soho Mint wurden Münzen für die East India Company, die Sierra Leone Company sowie englisches für Gebiete wie Ceylon, Barbados oder die Bahamas hergestellt. Für die englische Regierung wurden die Cartwheel Pennies geprägt. Prägetechnik nach dem Muster der Soho Mint wurde nach Russland, Spanien und Dänemark exportiert. (de)

  • Soho Mint was created by Matthew Boulton in 1788 in his Soho Manufactory (grid reference SP051890) in Handsworth, West Midlands, England. A mint was erected at the manufactory containing eight machines, to his own patent design, driven by steam engine, each capable of striking 70 to 85 coins per minute. In addition to copper domestic coins, silver coins were made for some of the colonies, and various trade tokens and medals were struck. Among the medals produced were the Seringapatam medal, made for the East India Company in 1801–2 to reward participants of the Battle of Seringapatam, and a medal for the Battle of Trafalgar, which Matthew Boulton produced at his own expense and gave to all those present at the 1805 battle. After the demise of the Soho Mint some of the machinery was bought at auction, in 1850, by the new Birmingham Mint of Ralph Heaton II. (en)
