Description

Already famous throughout Europe for his theories of planetary motion and gravity, Isaac Newton decided to take on the job of running the Royal Mint. And then, Newton became drawn into a battle with William Chaloner, the most skilful of counterfeiters, a man who got away with faking His Majesty's coins, and was trying to take over the Mint itself.
