OFFICIAL PRODUCT OF LONDON 2012
Born in 1642 at Woolsthorpe near Grantham in Lincolnshire, Sir Issac Newton came to be one of the foremost mathematicians and physicists the world has ever seen. The years spent studying and lecturing at Cambridge University were his most productive, and was knighted in Cambridge in 1705.
Newton discovered that the same force governed all objects, from the small, such as an apple, to the incredibly large, such as a planet.
From 1696 until 1699 Isaac Newton was Warden and then Master of the Royal Mint until his death in 1727. During his 30-year career at the Royal Mint he set a high standard and raised its status by his presence. He is indeed a distinguished part of a distinguished history.
