About Rothschild:
Nathan Rothschild began to deal in bullion from 1809 and his successors retained a close involvement with many aspects of this precious commodity. In 1852, they acquired the lease of the Royal Mint Refinery, which played a significant role in the gold industry during the California and Australian gold rushes. The refinery business was eventually sold to Engelhard Industries in 1967.
