The designs of UK coins are approved by the Chancellor as Master of the Mint, His Majesty The King and the Privy Council. This process is supported by the advice of the Royal Mint Advisory Committee, whose role is to ensure that designs meet high standards. UK coinage includes a combination of Latin and English.
