Britian's coinage extends over a period of more than 2000 years.  Some of these coins are valuable historical records of this country's early history.  They also mirror in miniature the artistic achievements of the times.  This catalogue will assist collectors and students in identifying thier coins.

Part I of this catalogue endeavours to cover each reign up to 1816 according to its numismatic range, but as limitations of space preclude the listing of every variety this part of the catalogue is essentially a type list.  Part II covers the coinage issued since 1816 and lists dates with their individual prices.
