The Collector's Introduction to Hammered Coinage

Own a genuine hand-struck coin from Britain's past

Crafted centuries before mechanised minting, these remarkable coins are among the most fascinating in British numismatics.

The finest examples regularly sell for hundreds – and sometimes thousands – of pounds at specialist auctions.

But because every hammered coin has survived differently over the centuries, genuine examples exist in a wide range of grades and conditions.

That means you can still own an authentic piece of this extraordinary history, without paying the premium for the very finest specimens.

We've carefully sourced genuine hand-struck coins from different monarchs and periods, with the earliest available dating to the reign of Elizabeth I – making them over 450 years old.

This is one of the most accessible ways to begin collecting one of Britain's most celebrated coinages.
