Jan Roettiers (b ?Antwerp, 4 July 1631; d London, 1703) was first employed at the Antwerp Mint before moving to London in 1661. A collaboration with Thomas Simon to engrave the dies for the new milled coinage of 1662 proved unworkable, and Roettiers alone was entrusted with the commission, thereby replacing Simon at the Royal Mint. Simon's 'petition crown' of 1667 failed to reverse the decision, and Roettiers became Chief Engraver on the death of Thomas Rawlins (1670).
