The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths received royal charter in 1327.
The Goldsmiths’ Hall in Foster Lane, London has occupied the same site since 1339. The “New Hall” (built 1634-6) was gutted by the Great Fire of London in 1666, but only demolished in 1829. The 3rd (current) Hall opened in 1835.

Why have I been posting about coins, instead of jewellery? Well, that is because - after overhauling the coinage system, King Edward I introduced UK hallmarking for precious metals in the year 1300.

There is no definitive evidence for when“The Royal Mint” was created but the Monogram Penny - the silver penny of Alfred the Great (871 - 899) - is one of the first coins to state explicitly that it was minted in London.

Humans have traded in precious metals - both in the form of jewellery and coinage - for millennia. There is some debate over the origins of coinage, but they were introduced as a method of payment around the 6th Century BCE - the earliest examples are from Greece, Persia and Egypt.
