The Royal Mint Refinery, a sub-brand of The British Royal Mint, and Elemetal have partnered to produce the RMR Shield 1 oz Silver Round.  This unique round represents the first time that the Royal Mint has co-branded a silver bullion round with a privately owned and operated mint.

The Royal Mint Refinery was established by the Baron N.M. Rothschild and Sons in 1852.  The Royal Mint Refinery quickly became a respected name in the bullion industry, and handled much of the gold and silver that entered the London Market.  The refinery remained in operation through the First and Second World Wars and served the evolving bullion market until production concluded in 1968.

The Royal Mint Refinery brand and marquee have been restored by The British Royal Mint.  The Royal Mint has been in operation for over 1000 years, and has steered the direction of the bullion industry since its inception.  Currently, The Royal Mint is responsible for minting all coins in circulation in the UK, and coins for over 60 other countries.

Elemetal is a collaborative venture of three leaders in the private bullion industry: Ohio Precious Metals, NTR Metals, and Provident Metals.  Elemetal leverages OPM’s LBMA good delivery status and production capacity, NTR’s distinguished minting legacy, and Provident Metals’ understanding of the bullion industry to provide secure, investment quality bullion, like the RMR Shield 1 oz Silver Round, at the most accessible price.

The RMR Shield 1 oz Silver Round is exclusively manufactured by the Elemetal Mint with one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, and using LBMA good delivery standards and ISO9001 manufacturing and metal purity assays.  Because the Elemetal Mint employs the highest production standards and uses only .999 fine silver, each of these dynamic rounds may be included in a self-directed precious metals IRA.

The obverse of the round features an eagle with outstretched wings on a shield that bears the Union Jack and Star Spangled Banner.  The shield and eagle are over a sunburst pattern of radial lines, and the Elemetal Mintmark is located on the bottom-right of the coin.  The reverse features three concentric circles over the same sunburst array of lines with the inscriptions “R.M.R”, “THE ROYAL MINT REFINERY”, and “1 TROY OUNCE 999 FINE SILVER”.
