* Coins of England and the United Kingdom, 2026, Pre-Decimal Issue

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.
