The UK Royal Mint's gold and silver coin sales doubled year-on-year in January to 63,000 ounces, lifted in part by the launch of new commemorative coins for the 2012 Olympics and the Royal engagement, the Mint said.
The Mint chiefly produces commemorative and collectable coins including gold bullion sovereigns, half sovereigns and quarter sovereigns in 22-carat gold.
