Celtic coin specialist Chris Rudd is celebrating the 200th edition of its catalogue. When Chris started in 1991, there was very little interest in British Celtic coins, with the major dealers happy to pass them on to Chris.

Steadily, Chris grew the market, regularly advertising in coin magazines, and writing articles and reports to stimulate the market. Celtic coins now form a large part of the ancient coin market for all coin dealers, especially since the publication of Chris Rudd's book Ancient British Coins, which is generally considered to be the main reference for British Celtic coins.

In 2024, Chris Rudd published Celtic Coin Articles, bringing together 154 articles originally published in their catalogues between 1997 and 2014.

The company is now owned and run by Elizabeth Cottam, who started working for Chris in 1997, and she has continued to issue 12 catalogues a year.

Now printed in larger A4 format with hundreds of new illustrations and full colour photographs. Celtic Coin Articles from the Chris Rudd Catalogues covers Agricu, Ale Sca, Amminus, ATT, Boduoc, Boudica, Cunobelinus Biga, Dumnoc Tigir Seno, Durotrigan cast bronze, South Ferriby staters, Solidu and Vosenos from contributors including Miranda Aldhouse-Green, Rainer Kretz, John Hooker, Jeffrey May, Paul Robinson, John Talbot and Robert Van Arsdell plus Philip de Jersey's incomparable series of articles 'Ancient British Kings'.

Also included are four brand new articles: 'Coriomandu, king of the Dobunni' by John Sills; 'Esunertos and Ex': an account of the recently uncovered ruler and his contemporaries by Daphne Nash Briggs plus 'The Caratacus Stater' and 'Was Anarevito a slave trader?' by Chris Rudd.

A4 hardback, 424 pages, over 1400 enlarged coin photos, many in colour, more than 400 other illustrations and over 70 maps and tables. £85.
