IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ. As of 1st March 2026, RP Coins is changing its legal structure and I will be selling as a sole trader from this date onwards. This affects card payments and bank transfers, which previously went to a company account which now has to be closed to comply with regulations. Faster payments which can be guaranteed to be fully complete by the end of this week can still be made and orders fulfilled the same day. These will not work after 12:00 GMT on 27th February. Unfortunately the necessary setting up of the new account is taking longer than anticipated, so full details will not be available until regulatory requirements have been satisfied. Please contact me via the email link for placing orders and paying until such time. Data protection and payment systems have not been compromised, so you can rest assured that your personal information and bank detail are still safe.

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.
