Annual British Coin Issues

[thurmownator 0]

As an American who collects British coins, I really appreciate the info the Royal Mint website provides; especially the links for UK Coins issued annually.

However, the six current links cover the post-decimalization issues only. Are there any links that can provide me the same information for the pre-decimalization years; at least the 20th century ?

Thanks,

As a swiss coincollector i was glad to find lots of informations on the following site that is online since many years:

Coins of the UK

Have fun

BTW: You even may find some interesting info on my website if you know a little german or use the google-translator. But... you may fall into laughter because the translation fails quite often.

Thanks Simon. Tony Clayton's website is very informative, but there is no info on annual predecimal mint quantities. It must reside somewhere.

The book I personally use for information on predecimal mintage totals is

A Guide book to English Coins by K E Bressett, relatively easy to come by and inexpensive.

It gives a guide to mintage within a particular year of most, if not all, english denominations, although it starts at George III it covers all years up to decimalisation in the later editions.

The figures relate more to numbers of coins produced for that year, rather than the number produced of a particular date.

For instance Pennies produced in 1825 were recorded as 1,075,200 but the dies were not produced until the November of that year, the production figure of 5,913,600 for 1826 would probably include for coins still dated 1825, depending on the condition of existing the dies, the number of coins required and when the order was placed that year.

I've also got all the predecimal figures in 'Collector's Coins GB' which is available as a new book and has valuations too. Postage is GBP3.50 to the USA and the book is GBP4.95.
