The Franklin Mint is a private mint in the United States, (formerly known as Wellings), which was established in 1964.
It sells coins, medals, jewelry, die-cast vehicles, dolls, sculptures and many other collectibles.
In the 80s, he marketed a series of skeleton clocks with the effigies of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world, Big Ben, Notre Dame de Paris, York Minster etc…
What a beautiful tribute in gilded carving, for this imposing York Minster cathedral located in the county of Yorkshire, in the heart of the small town of York.
This building, built more than 500 years ago, offers a spectacular nave to contemplate. Unique sculptures, a Gothic-built choir and the legendary staircase leading to the top of the church.
It was on the occasion of the baptism of King Edwin of Northumbria in 627 that a small chapel was built on the current site of the church.
The destiny of the modest building made it this important piece of the Anglican Church.
