Coinage: Rugby League World Cup
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of a commemorative coin for the Rugby League World Cup due to be held in England in 2021.
- Answer
-
The merits of potential designs for UK coinage are assessed by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee, an independent committee who advise the Royal Mint and ultimately the Chancellor and HM The Queen on coin designs. The Royal Mint typically chooses to commemorate events, individuals or symbology that are of genuine national significance and not contentious.
Typically, the process of producing a commemorative design for UK coinage takes 18 months, from initial discussions to the production of a coin. Further details on the Royal Mint advisory committee can be found at https://www.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/, alongside a form to contact the committee.
