Coins

Welcome to the Coins section of the site. For your convenience coins are divided into different criteria. British coins can be searched by house or period, metal type, hammered, milled or decimals. Foreign coins have their own dedicated section. There is also a section for other British coins which covers Scotland, Ireland (pre-independence), the Islands and overseas dependencies. You may search your chosen field using the dropdown menu on the top bar or by clicking on the various icons. The search facility can be used for specific descriptions such as the standard references or by monarch.
