Coins of England & the United Kingdom 2027 Pair of Pre-Decimal & Decimal issues

Coins of England 2027 (Pre-Decimal and Decimal Pair) NEW DECEMBER 2026 - PRE-ORDER

The 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 Elizabeth II, arranged in chronological order and divided, within each reign, into coinages, metals, denominations and varieties.

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

Coins have been used by states and 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, casting 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.

Formerly published by Spink & Son (often known as the "Spink Coins of England") and before that by B.A. Seaby Limited (known then as the "Seaby Standard Catalogue"), Sovereign Rarities are proud to continue to update and publish these trusted issues.

A new feature this year are QR codes, which you can scan easily with your mobile phone camera to view further examples across differing monarchs, series and denominations on Sovereign Rarities Ltd's website, alongside high-resolution images and detailed cataloguing.

Delivery expected in early December.
