Royal Mint Trial Designs compiled by a Mr.A.Wiseman, who was paid by the Royal Mint to make these designs, which include the original hand drawn sketches. The Mint subsequently chose not to use them, apart from the Gateshead Millennium Bridge idea, which was then used on a similar design on the One Pound coin. Some design ideas are included which were used on the Queen's Beasts series. The subjects cover Heraldic, Fauna, Sir Christopher Wren, Castles and Palaces and other supplementary designs. There are a total of 28 designs with 2-5 drawings and photos of each in a large book. This is a unique book purchased by the Vendor from the artist. The drawings depict many elegant designs and would make an interesting addition to any Numismatic Library
