Zenith Coins: Preserving Sporting Heritage Through Commemorative Coins

​

Founding and Inspiration

Zenith Coins Ltd was founded in May 2020 by Andrew Reith, who serves as the company’s CEO. The idea for the company grew out of a deep passion for sport shared by its founding team and a commitment to preserving the iconic moments that define sporting history.

 

Andrew and his small team of fellow sports enthusiasts recognised that memorable victories, legendary players, and historic club milestones deserved to be celebrated in a tangible way.

 

They envisioned creating high-quality commemorative sports coins that would allow fans and organisations to cherish those moments forever. From the outset, the mission was clear: combine love of sport with craftsmanship to produce premium collectibles that “treasure” a club’s legacy for generations.

 

This vision set the foundation for Zenith Coins’ journey, emphasising authenticity, quality, and genuine respect for the sports it represents.

​

In the early days of Zenith Coins, Andrew Reith partnered closely with creatives and industry experts to turn this vision into reality. Notably, his brother Gavin Reith who has a BA Hons Degree in Graphic Design from Caledonian University, joined as Creative Manager, ensuring each coin’s design would capture the spirit and tradition of the sport. Together, the founding team laid down core principles that still guide the company today.

 

They committed to meticulous design processes, working directly with clubs on every detail, and insisted on official endorsements for each coin produced. By establishing these standards in its infancy, Zenith Coins positioned itself not just as a manufacturer of souvenirs, but as a curator of sports heritage.

 

This dedication to official licensing and quality from day one ensured that every product would honour the legacy of the sport in an authentic manner.

​

Growth and Official Partnerships

Turning vision into reality, Zenith Coins quickly forged relationships with major sports organisations. The young company understood that securing official licensing agreements with elite sports bodies was key to earning trust and expanding its reach.

 

Over the next few years, Zenith Coins secured partnerships with a host of renowned teams and leagues. Legendary rugby and football clubs such as British & Irish Lions, Arsenal F.C., Rangers F.C., Celtic F.C. and S.L. Benfica. Even national governing bodies including the Scottish Football Association entrusted Zenith Coins to craft official commemorative pieces for their supporters.

 

Each of these elite organisations – and many others – have chosen Zenith Coins as a premium partner, a testament to the company’s credibility and the high regard for its craftsmanship. These official licensing agreements reaffirmed Zenith Coins’ commitment to authenticity and allowed fans to purchase memorabilia knowing it was fully endorsed by their club or sport.

​

Zenith Coins’ craftsmanship is exemplified in their Official Club Coins, such as the Rangers F.C. coin shown above in its presentation case. Each commemorative coin is meticulously designed in collaboration with the respective club, featuring that club’s authorised crest and colours.

 

From initial concept to final minting, Zenith’s team works hand-in-hand with sports organisations to ensure every detail reflects the spirit of the club and the significance of the moment being honoured. The finished coins are often gold-plated or silver-plated and produced to the highest quality standards, then presented in bespoke display cases accompanied by certificates of authenticity.

 

This attention to detail — from the weight and feel of the coin to the elegance of the packaging — underscores Zenith Coins’ dedication to delivering a product worthy of the memories it represents. By combining traditional craftsmanship with official approval, each coin becomes a piece of sporting history that fans can hold and treasure.

 

Success in the world of sports collectibles also opened new avenues for Zenith Coins. The company soon found itself supplying its unique products to corporate businesses globally, providing custom coins and merchandise for commercial partners, sponsors, and events.

 

Major corporations began working with Zenith Coins to commemorate sponsorship milestones, award employee achievements, or create exclusive gifts for VIP clients that tie into sporting events. For example, when a championship match or a season celebration called for a special memento, companies could collaborate with Zenith to produce a one-of-a-kind coin marking the occasion.

 

This expansion beyond clubs and leagues positioned Zenith Coins as not only a sports memorabilia specialist but also a go-to provider of high-end corporate gifts and promotional items. Today, Zenith Coins is recognised as the UK’s premier sports coin supplier serving both the competitive sports industry and the corporate sector.

 

The company is “proudly acknowledged as ‘Best in Class’” in its market, a recognition that reflects its unwavering commitment to quality service and product excellence.

 

With distribution networks extending across Europe, North America, and Asia, the reach of Zenith Coins is truly global. Its commemorative coins have found homes with collectors and sports enthusiasts around the world, solidifying the company’s status as an international leader in sports collectibles.

​

Vision for the Future

As Zenith Coins continues to grow, its founding inspiration remains firmly at the heart of its vision. The company looks toward the future with the same passion for sport and respect for history that sparked its creation. The core belief guiding Zenith Coins is that every great sporting moment — be it a championship triumph, a record-breaking performance, or a beloved player’s farewell — deserves to be preserved and celebrated.

 

The team’s shared commitment to preserving iconic moments is as strong today as it was on day one. In the coming years, Zenith Coins aims to expand its portfolio of officially licensed memorabilia across even more sports and global markets, so that fans of all disciplines can own a piece of the moments that move them. New partnerships are on the horizon, and ongoing negotiations with globally recognized sports brands promise to bring the Zenith Coins touch to an ever-wider audience.

​

Innovation is also a key part of Zenith Coins’ vision. The company continuously explores emerging trends and technologies to enhance how fans experience commemorative items – whether through creative coin designs, limited-edition series that tell a story, or integrating digital elements that complement the physical coins. Despite these forward-looking initiatives, Zenith Coins never wavers from its high standards of quality and authenticity. Each future project, like those before, will be undertaken with meticulous care and in collaboration with the relevant sports partners, ensuring that the end product genuinely honours the sport’s legacy.

 

Andrew Reith and his team see Zenith Coins becoming synonymous worldwide with celebrating sports heritage in an elegant, lasting form. Their ultimate goal is to ensure that the proudest achievements of clubs and athletes can be held in one’s hand and passed down through generations.

​

In summary, the origin story of Zenith Coins is one of passion transformed into purpose. What began as a love for sport and a simple idea in 2020 has grown into a company supplying elite sporting bodies and businesses across the globe with exceptional commemorative coins.

 

Through official partnerships and a dedication to excellence, Zenith Coins has carved out a unique place at the intersection of sports and memorabilia. Its story — from inspiration to execution, from local beginnings to global reach — reflects a clear and consistent mission: to celebrate sporting history, one coin at a time, and to keep those treasured moments alive forever.
