Matthew Boulton was not only an important British silversmith
who was active in establishing the silver assay office in Birmingham, but he
was a pioneer with James Watt in the development of the steam engine, making
possible the mechanization of factories and mills throughout the United
Kingdom. His techniques were also applied to minting coins, striking
millions of coins for the British Royal Mint, as well as for other
countries.
