PREFACE THE BRITISH WORLD England, the mother country, and the vast colonial system it founded known as the British Empire, together with its successor system, the present day Commonwealth Of Nations— thèse form the British World, the coinage of which this book illustrates and describes in its entirety. From about 500 A.D. to 1154, a period of some six hundred years, English numismatics is confined exclusively to the British Isles. During the reign of Henry II, 1154-1168, England acquired some possessions in France through the King's marriage to Eleanor, the Duchess of Aquitaine. British rule in these lands extended into the reign of Henry VI, 1422-1461, and the coins struck in France during this period may be considered the first in the long line of British colonial issues. They will be found under Anglo-French Coinage and these coins are known collectively as the Anglo-Gallic series. After the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the age of exploration and colonization began for England in earnest. Both east and west, coinage followed the course of empire. In 1600, the East India Company struck the first coins of British India, and on the other side of the world, in Bermuda in 1620 and in Massachusetts in 1652, the first coins of the American colonies began to be struck. Active colonization on a global scale continued for the next two centuries and the climactic moment in the British World may be said to have been reached in 1876 when Victoria was proclaimd Empress of India. Henceforward, her successors were to be known as Kings and Emperors. By the time the period between the two World Wars had arrived, England had become the greatest colonial power in the history of the world. It was an empire that girdled the earth and consisted of all sorts of political entities—colonies and dependencies; protectorates and mandates; commonwealths and dominions. The surge of nationalism that followed the end of World War II affected the various colonial powers of the world, England included. New nations were created out of old colonies— a trend of our times that is still continuing. Among some of these newly independent countries are Ceylon, Cyprus, Ghana (Gold Coast), India, Malaya, Nigeria (British West Africa), Pakistan and Sierra Leone. The loss of India in 1947 marked the titular end of the British Empire, and this had an immediate effect on the coinage of the British world. Since 1948, coins of British origin have dropped all reference to their former imperial status and they now appear, showing the royal title minus the Latin "IND IMP" or the English, "EMPEROR." Although England has lost direct political control of these newly created nations, they have nevertheless all elected to remain within the British Commonwealth Of Nations, and so the coinage is just as extensive as it ever was. The notable exception is the former Union of South Africa, now an independent Republic without any ties to the Crown. THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS. This term, which is without any precise or definitive meaning, is used to describe collectively all territories (whether they be independent nations or colonies of England) which either acknowledge the reigning sovereign of Britain as the head of the Commonwealth, or which bear allegiance to the Crown. As presently constituted, the Commonwealth Of Nations consists of two broad groups; the first comprises membernations or realms of the Commonwealth with their dependencies; the second is composed of all the colonies, dependencies, protectorates, etc. of Great Britain proper. The member-nations or realms of the Commonwealth are: Great Britain Canada Australia (with Ant- Ceylon arctic Territory, Cyprus Nauru, New Ghana Guinea, Norfolk India Island and Papua) Malaya New Zealand (with Western Samoa and Ross Dependency) Nigeria Pakistan Sierra Leone The rest of the Commonwealth consists of the localities which follow. Some of these have never had a coinage of their own and these places are starred (*).

SCOPE COINS OF THE BRITISH WORLD is published as the first single volume in the long annals of numismatic literature to combine the coinage of both the British Isles and the British Empire. The coinage covered in this book is complete including the gold coins, which are extracted from the standard book, GOLD COINS OF THE WORLD, by the same author and publisher. In the present book it has been the aim of the author to catalogue and evaluate every type of coin from the earliest Anglo Saxon issue of the sixth century to the present—a period of constant coinage extending more than 1400 years. Major or important varieties of all types have also been catalogued and evaluated, so that the general collector or student will have a more complete and useful reference work. The coins of Great Britain begin about 500 A.D. with the earliest issues of Anglo-Saxon times. These coins may be considered the first true English coins, being struck sometime after the departure of the Romans from England. Thereafter, the coinage is treated in standard chronological fashion by reign, through the various periods of changing English history until the present reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Similarly, the coinage of Scotland and Ireland begins with the earliest native issues that can be attributed to these lands. Scottish coins therefore commence in 1124, the series being concluded in 1706, a year before the crowns of England and Scotland were united. The Irish series begins about 989 A.D. and is continued through the coinage of the present Republic of Ireland, cognizance being taken of the gap in coinage from 1824 to 1927. In the British Empire series, the aim has been to include all coins, no matter where or when struck, that were issued under British auspices or as a direct result of British influence. As mentioned earlier, the first such coins were the AngloFrench issues from 1154-1461. However, the colonial series, as such, actually begins with the portcullis coins of 1600 that were struck by the East India Company. This book, therefore, contains the complete coinage of all British colonies, dependencies, mandates, trust territories, protectorates and dominions, together with the coinage of all countries in the British Commonwealth Of Nations—all from their first year of issue to the present. In a few cases, some political license had to be taken with certain coins that the author felt belonged in this book. Such coins, for example, are those in Parts I and 3 of South Africa, which, strictly speaking, are not part of the British world, but which nevertheless round out the South African series; likewise is the last coinage of Cutch included in this book. In other cases, some coins are included from territories that were only briefly or spasmodically under British control, and which are not considered even remotely British today, as for example, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Java and Sumatra. The coins of the Republic of Ireland from 1928 and of Burma from 1949 are special cases, since they most assuredly are from independent nations that are not in the Commonwealth; but Ireland, nevertheless, is one of the British Isles and it would be heretical to exclude the Republic's coins from this book; and the coins of Burma are included because the earlier issues were struck under British auspices, when it was a province of India. METALS As noted earlier, coins of all metals are catalogued in this book including gold. From its frequency and length of use, silver is the predominant metal. Certainly it was the common coinage from earliest days through the reign of Elizabeth I, a period of about 1100 years. Unless it is otherwise stated in the catalogue, all coins are assumed to be silver. Coins struck in copper, bronze, nickel or any other metal will be so described, and the exact metal named as part of the description. The term "nickel" is used loosely to refer to cupro-nickel, as well as to other nickel alloys. It is interesting to note that copper coins were a long time coming, the first regular issues being struck during the reign of James I, 1603-1625. DATES For the first one thousand years, English coins were struck without dates. Not until the reign of Edward VI, 1547-1553, does a full A.D. date appear on any coin, the 1 Shilling of 1548 being the first one. Even so, the dating of coins remained haphazard for some time thereafter, and the coinage from 1548 to 1661 may or may not be dated. The abbreviation ND for no date is used during this period and later to indicate coins that do not bear a date. In 1662, during the reign of Charles II, the era of milled coinage began and so did the systematic and purposeful dating of coins, as is practiced today. Every year in which a given coin was struck will be found in the listings, thus making this book complete as to dates as well as types. A sequence of dates will generally be shown as, for example, 1890, 91, 92, 95, 97, In a sequence of consecutive dates, they will be shown as, for example, 1890-96. A dash (-) between any two dates will therefore indicate that the coin in question was struck in each year covered by the first and last dates shown. In a few cases where exact or reliable date information was not available, a statement will be found that not all dates are known between those listed. viii
DENOMINATIONS The English Coinage System As it took about one thousand years before the first dates appeared on English coins, it took an even longer time before the first denominations appeared on them. Actually, expressed denominations were not really necessary, since in the old days the value of a coin was determined solely by its weight and purity. As a matter of record, standard English gold coins have never borne a denomination, including those of the present time. Except for the Maundy coinage and for some isolated, irregular examples during the civil war period of Charles I, denominations do not regularly appear on standard silver coins until the reign of William IV that began in 1830. Minor coins began to bear a denomination systematically even later, the first regular issues being struck during the reign of Victoria. The first silver Crown to show its denomination was the George V issue of 1927. The English coinage system is based on a Pound consisting of 20 Shillings, a Shilling consisting of 12 Pence, and a Penny consisting of 4 Farthings. The Pound is normally a piece of paper money or a gold coin, which is also called a Sovereign. However, during the reign of Charles I, silver Pounds and Half Pounds were struck, these being abnormal issues. The following table will show the numerical values of the standard coins and their names, which sometimes appear on them. Numerical Value 20 Shillings 10 Shillings 5 Shillings 2V2 Shillings 2 Shillings 12 Pence 4 Pence 'A Penny Name of Coin One Pound Half Pound Crown Half Crown Florin One Shilling Groat Farthing in the text, where they belong, rather than elsewhere in the book as a separate section of plates. The description of the coin type is immediately below the illustration. The coin or coins being illustrated can be identified in the text by an asterisk (*), on the line alongside the denomination and date. If the coin type consists of only one coin and it is being illustrated, no * has been used in the text; additionally, no * has been used if all the coins of a given type have been illustrated. A wide variety of coin sizes has purposely been used in the illustrations to help identify the many coins that do not bear a denomination. It is the author's belief that this is the most lavishly illustrated book on this subject that has ever been published. VALUATIONS The valuations are published as a general guide to the value of the coins on the numismatic market. Voluminous sales records, both past and present have been consulted, some going back to the late nineteenth century. These records have been used in conjunction with the author's forty-year exposure to the subject as an eager student, the last twenty of which have been spent professionally. It is the author's belief that the valuations reflect the actual rarity, demand and availability of the coins in the state of preservation listed, as of the winter of 1961-1962. The value of coins in worse or better condition than those listed would be affected accordingly, either lower or higher. These valuations represent the approximate price for which the coins would be sold from stock by a professional numismatist to a collector, both being well informed on the subject. In general, the numismatic value of a coin is determined partly by its state of preservation, partly by its rarity, and almost always by the inexorable law of supply and demand, which might sometimes cause a divergence from the presently published valuations. PATTERN, PROOF AND TOKEN COINAGE Pattern coins have been listed in the British Empire section, mostly for those countries which do not have a regular issue of their own local coins. In other cases, such coins have been listed because of tradition or because they are consistent with and complement the regular issues. Pattern coins have been identified in this book by the descriptive term, "not placed in circulation," which applies also to certain regular types that were struck in proof condition only. Certain token coins have also been included in this book in accordance with numismatic tradition. Although their inclusion is admittedly haphazard, because so many other tokens have been excluded, those listed do form an important and necessary adjunct to the regular coinage. ILLUSTRATIONS More than half of this book is devoted to coin illustrations, which are shown in the actual sizes of the coins. At great additional expense, they have been set into their proper place Please Note: The valuations are for the commonest date or commonest variety of the coin type. There are many dates or varieties which are rare and which would increase the value of a given coin. See the bibliography for a list of some of the specialized books on the coinage of the British World. INNOVATIONS Several innovations are appearing for the first time in a catalogue of this nature. One involves the use of coin names—that is, the name of the ruler as it actually appears on the coins. Knowledge of these coin names is especially useful in studying the early coinages of Great Britain, Ireland and Scotland, since in most cases these names are rendered on the coins in a manner quite different from the way in which they are written today. The coin name of each ruler—and in many cases, there is more than one renIX
dering of the name—will be found under the conventional name of the ruler in ( ). Another innovation involves the state of preservation, or condition, of the coins. It will be noted that the valuations are based on specific coin conditions and that these conditions vary from country to country or from ruler to ruler. The aim has been to tailor the valuation of each coin to the condition in which it is most likely to be found. It will also be noted that two valuations have been given for the coins in the British Empire section as well as for the coins in the English milled series.

ANGLO-SAXON EARLY ISSUES GREAT BRITAIN The valuations are for Fine condition up to No. 903. ANGLO-SAXON COINAGE Earliest Issues, About 500-700 A.D. The anonymous silver Sceats that follow are crude and barbarous in style and workmanship. They are with or without Runic legends, some of them being blundered and indecipherable. The heads and animal figures take many bizarre shapes, and become so corrupted that they eventually lose their identity. Factors such as these are challenging to an exact attribution of these coins, which are the first, true British coins struck after the departure of the Romans.

In 1066, the Normans under Duke William invaded England from Normandy and defeated the forces of King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings— one of the most decisive battles in world history. The Norman conqueror assumed the English throne as King William I, and although the entire political life of England was altered thereby, the coinage suffered hardly any change. It was continued without interruption, and except for the change in the name of the King [as would be normal for any new King!, the new coins are similar to the last Anglo-Saxon issues in style, farbic, workmanship, weight and value.)
