Meet the designer

Lee Jones is Product Design Lead at the Royal Mint and was one of the esteemed judges for the Royal Mint Museum medal competition.

Lee's career at the Royal Mint has spanned 16 years during which time he has designed numerous coins and medals including the Arthurian Masterpiece and the 2017 King Canute crown piece.

He is responsible for the creative direction of the coins and bars produced by The Royal Mint along with artist support and development.

In early 2022 our Digital Engagement Officer met with Lee to talk to him about medals, the design process and how our entrants might want to approach this challenge. Take a look below for Lee's top tips and his highlights from the Museum collection.
