The Franklin Mint is a private mint in the United States, (formerly called Wellings), which was established in 1964.

It sells coins, medals, jewelry, die-cast vehicles, dolls, sculptures and many other collectibles.

In the 80's, he commercialized a series of skeleton clocks in the effigies of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world, Big Ben, Notre Dame de Paris, York Minster etc...

What a beautiful tribute in gold chasing, for this imposing cathedral York Minster located in the county of Yorkshire, in the heart of the small town of York.

This building built more than 500 years ago offers to contemplate a spectacular nave. Unique carvings, a gothic choir and the legendary staircase leading to the top of the church.
It was for the baptism of King Edwin of Northumbria in 627 that a small chapel was built on the present site of the church.

The destiny of the modest building made it an important part of the Anglican Church.
