Coins of England & the United Kingdom Hardcover Book, 2025, PRE-DECIMAL Issues

This historic reference work for British coins is the only catalogue featuring all major coin types from Celtic and Roman Britain through to the pre-decimal coinage of Her Late Majesty Elizabeth II, arranged in chronological order and divided, within each reign, into metals, coinages, denominations and varieties.

The catalogue includes useful information explaining numismatic terms and guides beginners with their budding coin collections, as well as providing independently-agreed up-to-date values for each and every coin. Hammered British coinage is seen from our Celtic predecessors, through Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Norman, Plantagenet, Lancastrian and Yorkist, up to Tudor and Stuart, in which periods British milled coins are being produced for the first time, specifically during the reign of Elizabeth I in 1561.

Coins have been used by states or monarchs for millennia to communicate with their peoples; Coins of England as such is not only a collectors reference book, but provides an insight into British history itself, shedding light upon the land's culture, religion, politics and technological development. Over 3,000 price changes were made in the latest edition to reflect market movement across the past year.
