Founded by Henry Maudslay in 1797, renamed Maudslay Sons & Field about 1830, the company was best known for building marine steam engines, locomotives, and other advanced manufacturing techniques, as well as constructing the Thames Tunnel, the first tunnel under the Thames River, completed in 1842. In 1851, the company was awarding at the Great Exhibition in London, in Class VI: Manufacturing Machines and Tools, for a coining press, from which these Ottoman souvenir pieces were struck, the 1851 issue with only the name Lambeth, the 1852 with the company name added. The company folded in 1900.The press was described in the Great Exhibition award catalogue as "acting by an eccentric instead of by a screw or lever, and driven by a small double cylinder direct-acting high-pressure steam engine."
