To celebrate the launch of The Great British Treasure Hunt, whether or not you’re taking part in our epic new quest, we’re inviting you to put your skills to the test to be in with a chance of winning some great prizes.

For our first quest, we’ve got a brand-new 2026 Silver Sixpence up for grabs. The humble sixpence has a rich history that is often associated with what some consider to be quirky British traditions. Perfect for celebrating the memories that shape your year, the sixpence is an iconic symbol of good luck and prosperity.

In addition, we are also giving away a copy of The Royal Mint Puzzle Book, containing 125 rewarding puzzles for all the family – including the one you are hopefully about to solve! Crack cryptic codes inspired by precious metals, untangle brain teasers fit for a royal court and decipher ancient secrets hidden in plain sight.

To be in with a chance of winning this prize bundle, answer the following multiple-choice question correctly …

My first is in few, 
But isn’t it blue.

My second’s in gain, 
But isn’t in reign. 

My third is in hall, 
And also in wall. 

My fourth is in phrase, 
But isn’t in plays. 

My fifth’s not in line, 
But features in sign.

The Mint’s work is here, 
On most days of the year!
