The BNS Coin Gallery
This section of the BNS website contains image galleries for selected coins as well as links to relevant BNJ articles. Coins are selected on the basis of condition, rarity or numismatic interest. Currently galleries are being constructed for the Iron Age through to the end of the Stuarts, and will include hammered Anglo-Gallic, Irish and Scottish coins as well as English. At some future date, the time range coverage will likely be expanded to include later coins and tokens.
If you have a coin or coins that you would like to be considered for inclusion then please send details to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
In the galleries click on any of the image icons to see the coin and accompanying text. Coins will be added on a regular basis, so please take another look on your next visit to the website.
